hello all
when i first installed my solar system (two 175w panels) i choose to wire it as a parrarel circuit, i can't remember why at the time, but i believed it to be the best method. my panels, and battery are 12vs, because its parallel, i understand this to mean that i am now inputting a 24w power supply into my charge controller. I've been advised that this is ok as my charge controller is a 30A MPPT and specifies that it is suitable for either 12v or 24v. my questions are; is this still ok with a 12v battery and secondly does having the solar panels is a parallel circuit affect its performance in anyway?
the system has been working with out any noticeable problems for over 6 months
