   Dan’s not running a consultation business here, so don’t think he’s here to answer all your questions that you might have pertaining to solar panels and batteries. You should contact a local electrician for that, or ask that question at solarpaneltalk [dot] com. To connect those 2 sets of batteries in parrallel, that would just be positive to positive and negative to negative from the diagonals of each 2 pair set.

   Yea he didn’t have the courtesy of answering you either way though. Not very nice of him. In fact I was interested in your question too and would love to know the answer. Next time just ask someone who knows more about solar power or someone who does it for a living.

    I have bought this system and it works very well. I use it to charge a deep cell battery, which powers a 12v bug zapper (Eureka) in my yard, as well as all of my landscaping lights in the yard. I found some very powerful LEDs on ebay. The setup works very well. I am considering adding a small fountain to the system, to see if it can support that as well.

    Hi,

    You can do 6 panels per controller or 90 watts. You can also hook 2 controllers together to one bank. So, if you had 4 systems, 2 to 1 controller (6panels to 1) and 2 to another controller = 180 watts, then both controller to battery leads can be connected in series or parallel for 12 V…15 amp or 24v…7.5 amp either way would produce 180 watts.

    QUESTION:

    …
    QUESTION:

    I have 2- 6 volt golf cart batteries which I have wired in series to get 12 volts. I want to get another 2 of the exact same battery, wire those 2 in series as well to get 12 volts. If I want to connect the first 2 batteries with the 2nd pair of batteries to have a 4 battery/12 volt bank, how do I do that, connect them in parallel?

    I wondered about this as well, but I -suspect- they have them built in as the place the wires are attached to the panels has a little black boxy thing on each panel. This would definitely be a concern for me as this is a very likely scenario with their presesnt placement in my yard + am using a large mirror to deflect evening & morning sun into them. I guess I’ll have to look now…

    I am a little uncomfortalble with the fact, that you don’t seperate the pannels with diodes in case one of them is in shade and the others are in full sun

    I have the older version of this kit. I bought it used for $20. The original charge controller sold with these kits are garbage.

    I felt just like Dan in the bloopers the first time I tried setting up this system.

    Timing is perfect - just got 2 sets - I had set up 1 already. I will be tying 2 panels to a 3 battery parallel 12v system. Looking for deals on grid tie inverter & need to repair my Xantrex 1000W portawattz AC inverter. I got 400W sale at HF for $30 + 30A charge controller for $79. Now to hook it all up…

    Need good source for fuses, wire, and high current switches!! Kitty got stage time too! See… starving for attention. Typical :^)
