Let us calculate the solar panel size that can handle Baba's ( Edochie) consumption. Can anyone try? 🌞💡🔋

To whom it may concern: slide 8 of many

As we've earlier stated, series connection increases voltage while current remain constant. Why the need for it? Fundamentally, higher voltage source charges lower one, so, a voltage higher than that of the battery is needed from the solar panel. For example, a panel with Vmp of 18 V will charge a 12 V battery through a charge controller thst convert the 18 V to 15 V maximum. However, 18 V panel can't charge a 24 V battery so, a higher panel voltage of like 36 V will be needed. There are 2 options available here: either look for a panel with 36 V or you combine 2 pieces of 18 V panels in SERIES to achieve the needed charging voltage of like 30 V maximum. Similarly, for a 48 V battery, panel voltage of 72 V (2 × 36 V panels in SERIES) will work

Another reason for connecting in SERIES is if the requirement from an hybrid inverter is a voltage higher than the Vmp of a single panel. For example, if an hybrid inverter requires a minimum of 96 V from panel, 3 of 36 V panels will work. For further clarificatiom, let's chat
