I have been dabbling in solar panel usage for years but after building a greenhouse I am ramping it up. I have 10 panels (2 on the greenhouse roof and 8 on my homemade stand) wired in series all facing Winter-gray-skies South. It is wired into my MPPT which then "feeds" three 24v deep cycle batteries wired in parallel. I had been casually running a 12v inverter to run virtually nothing. (I learned that I should have a 24v inverter and recently purchased one.) So far, the 24v inverter only wants to scream at me with its fault whistle.
Here are the specs of the system:
Solar panels
2 - 100 watt max peak, 18.0 volt max power point v, 5.56 amp max power point current
8 - 15 watt max peak, 17.5 volt max power point, 0.86 amp max power point current
MPPT Controller
Tracer-3251RN
Batteries
3 - 24volt, 200CA
Inverter
MicroSolar 24v INV-3000PS
Readings
Solar Panels - 75 volts
MPPT to batteries 24-28 volts
Batteries 24-28 volts
What am I missing here?
Thanks.
