Some direction please....
So currently I have a small setup on my garage, 2 x 100w renogy panels in parallel , 9 x 116Ah batteries in parallel(all 2 years old now), a cheap 30a PWM controller, and a Dimensions 12/1800n 12v 1800w pure sine inverter. The panels are about 12ft from the batteries. (most of this was bartered for)
This setup works fine for me during the summer, with more sun and longer daylight. Im not in my garage every night but when I am, Im using saws, lights, air compressors etc. and the batteries just arent charging fast enough.
So in an attempt to shorten my charging time I bartered for 5 x Canadian solar 220w panels which arent on the roof yet. I know I will need a new controller, any suggestions which one is best for my application?
Everywhere I read says that running in 12v/80A is a huge waste, but what are the options when running with a 12v inverter?
