Narrative: Found out that the 48V SCC can’t push more than about 170W into a battery this week. I separated all three pairs of solar panels this morning and gave each one of them a 48V SCC of their own. The power created was significantly higher than previous days with over 800WH per pair of panels in series, 2.6KWH is pretty good for one day! That will run the refrigerator, but not our CPAPs. I need more efficiency or put more panels on the roof. I’ve looked at the 48V SCC efficiency before, but I can’t remember the details to write it here. (It wasn’t 40%) The highest wattage from a pair of panels was roughly 130W (65%) today.
