I have two 162W at 20V in panels, can this unit handle 324W at 20V or will I have to only use one 162W at 20V?

If your gel cell battery is 12V, the maximum wattage for panel is 260W. If your If your gel cell battery is 24V, the maximum wattage for panel is 520W. It depends on your gel cell battery's voltage.

Hi,1 panel is 100w, that's good enough. If you have 12V, light bulbs in ur van, you can connect 2 or may be 1 12w bulb. You will still be having 88w to be used, u can charge ur laptops and small electronic appliances. Good thing about this panel is that, these are expandable. You can buy 1 more panel later on. If u decide to buy 2nd panel, just buy panel alone that Is around $149. U don't need charge control with that.. Thanks,Masroor

You can hook 4x100w in series or 2 sets of 2x100w in series/parallel with this controller. Adjust your fusing and wiring accordingly. I intend to add the extra 2x100w in parallel with the existing 2x100w set I have. I should mention that my system is setup to run as 24v (panels, batteries, controller and inverter (240vac out)).

I have had this unit for almost a year now! Works flawless with my two 250 watt Kyrocera panels, ( mono crystalline ) 12volt. Hope this helps u

20 amp minimum with the 2 panels connected in parallel at 12 volts. You can use a PWM or an MPPT controller. The panels don't care

I have two 275 watt panels hooked to mine. I believe I have room to add another. It is a 30 amp charge controller. B

Yes, I use two in parallel with a twelve volt hundred watt solar panel for power in my camper. I really like them and will be ordering more.

Yes, I would recommend one. The panel puts out about 22 volts at peak power.

There is only one 12v rail, but it can handle 540w - just shy of the total output. Unless you're really pushing the total capacity (which you shouldn't do), it shouldn't make an important difference.

you will need a 10 amp charge controller for one of these or a 20 amp charge controller for two.The charge controller will have adjustable settings "you set"I suggest a renogy 30 amp pwm controller for three reasons it will give you room to add more panels its cheap under $35 and its all you would need to accomplish battery charging in 12 or 24 volt mode,I hope this helps

This is why I hooked my 520 watts of panels in series so you halve the amperage. I can add another 2 panels in the future and still keep it under 30 amps. Remember too that the charge controller can charge a normal 12v battery bank, that's what mine is. I recommend making a 24v panel setup.

If you are asking how many panels it will handle I am using (1) 255 watt 33 volt module and it is rated max is 260 watt it is handling it great

That should be fine assuming you are hooking the panels in parallel +to +, - to -. So 130 watts / 18v (typical output for "12v" pannels)= 7.22 amps

A qualified YES.. Here's what u need to do since this PS is 65WT.. Look at the original...voltage =? Current=? .fill in the ?'s marks and multiply and this will give you the WT's. This one is 18.5V X 3.52A = 65WT.. If yours is higher than 65 wt than this one will NOT work, at least not for long or it will get real hot and shut down. I wouldn't count on these cheapies to shut down itf you overload them.

Yes it will work. I'm using two 100 watt panels wired in series to get 24 volts running to the charge controller and then to my 12 volt battery bank. works great. You'll have have less resistance from the panel to the controller in 24 volts as well.

I bought two panels, have not installed them yet. Starting out with 4 batteries @ 100 amps, plan on going to 8 and adding two more panels

The number of solar panels will depend on the individual panel rating, but the unit can handle 720 watts at 12 volts and 1440 watts at 24 volts.
