When sizing a system for the RV should I really be using the NOCT numbers for the output?
I am looking at the[SIZE=12px] LG300S1C-A5 High Efficiency Mono X with Parallel connections
2 panels using NOCT numbers= Min Tmp 36.6 A, Max Tmp 29.3 A
2 panels using STC numbers= Min Tmp 50.6 A, Max Tmp 38.1 A
3 panels using NOCT numbers= Min Tmp 54.9 A, Max Tmp 43.9 A
3 panels using STC numbers= Min Tmp 70 A, Max Tmp 57.1 A
The panels will be very close to Flat Mounted. maybe 3-5 degree pitch
I am thinking even NOCT numbers might be much higher than flat mounted panels will achieve.
As I live in the southwest at about 32 degree North latitude I might need to have the 3rd panel on a set of separate circuit breakers so I can turn it off during the summer months while at that latitude.
What are others experiencing for the output of RV mounted panels?
I am assuming my Victron 100/50 would put out a lot more heat if the power tried to go past 50 amp.
