Hi,
I have got my MPPT Unit up and running (2 months now). So I thought i would share any and all my info, to any one that it may be of interest to.
The idea was to run my hot water system from solar . I was given 6 panels 360watt JA Solar (chinese brand) so I mounted them on 2 frames that i intend to make into trackers.
The panels are arranged 2 series x 3 parallel gives me OS voltage of 96v and max amps at MPP of 30amps and 78v.
The hotwater element is 1500w at 48v, software limits the voltage so everything seems to be running just fine so far.
MPPT is running from 96% to 85% on sunny days.(my very limited knowledge of how to measure this acceratily).
The whole project is still in development so some of it will change. I am very pleased with the results so far.
