Hi, I have successfully installed a solar panel system to power my swimming pool pump but I wonder if it could be more efficient than I have it set up. It works well but just don't want to missing a trick. Here is what I have:
The pool pump is 48V 500W
I have 3 x 250W 24V solar panels. I have 2 of them wired in series to get my 48V and then the 3rd panel in parallel to boost my wattage.
According to my charge controller the input is around 68V 8A 450W
The charge controller can only handle max 15A and open voltage <100V
Could I be doing anything more efficiently?
Many thanks
