Title: Two 275W Panels
Post by: Tobit on July 04, 2016, 11:43:02 AM

Is there a way I can get two 275W panels and a 12V bank to play? Voc = 39.4V. The calculator says 1.4 kids are needed for a 12V bank, so I am right on the edge. What risks do I run if I try this configuration?

Run the 2 in parallel. All that is going to happen is the Kid will current limit and leave some energy on the table
