B0250B39-E8E7-40A9-8828-7631B86ECA4B.png Hi, first post. Just bought a project boat, the old owner had started to get together a solar set up. I have onboard 8 x 265w panels with MC4 connectors , 150v 70amp mppt and 8 x 6v 220amp Trojan batteries. What would be the most efficient way of connecting the panels ? what size cable between panels and controller ? What size cable between controller and battery bank? What
New member, advice needed.

Find yourself one more 265 watt panel. Wire them up as 3s3p. 8 ga. from your combiner to the controller. Series wire all 8 batteries into a 48 volt bank and start looking for a 48 volt inverter. That's the down and dirty answer I'd throw at you.. You really need to figure out your loads, peak and daily, to know if your battery bank is sufficient to run the size inverter you need.
Checking out and heading to Baja now, I'm sure you'll get better advice here from all the very capable members on this forum.2.2kw Suntech mono, Classic 200, NEW Trace SW4024 -

Your computer is using an oddball font/character set that spammers in far away countries use. It may look cute on your CRT, but the forum software thinks you are a spammer.

That would be a standard font/character set. Spammers use it yes but so do most of the people on the internet with modern computers and browsers...OutBack FP1 w/ CS6P-250P http://bit.ly/1Sg5VNHComment
