OK I've looked this up several times and it really is confusing lol. I understand parallel, I understand series. What I don't really understand is how u keep series from going above 24v? I think what I've been looking up is its best to do 24v battery back up and a total system rather than a 12v battery back up and system for a house... is that correct.
I am about to have a 1.5kw system arriving at the house in a few weeks, 13 100 watt panels and a 200 watt panel. (I won it all on bid on ebay for like $700 with 2 invertors and 2 battery controllers, cables, mc4 connectors and all to do the system. I know it goes from the panels to the controller to the batteries and then the inverter... or I think
but again I get confused with what's best? I think 24v is but when you hook two 12v panels together u get 24v in series, so If I connected another in series would that bring it to 36v? If I did a 24v battery bank which I thought was preferable wouldn't 36v be bad? I know the wattage isn't going to change but I'm so confused on how to maintain a solid 24v? Do you just keep hooking two panels in series to 24v and do that every 2 panels or what? Lol I am probably making this a lot harder than I think but maybe you all can help!! Thanks guys
