I have had off grid solar for several years, things are going pretty well.
I recently added 2 additional 12v 100w Mono panels to my array. Now I have 6 panels. My controller is a EPEver MPPT controller.
Presently, I have my panels in series so I am getting about 120v on open circuit and the controller does just fine. The controller's max voltage is 150.
I am wondering if I am best served keeping the voltage as high as possible or if I am better off going with a 3Sx2P or even 2Sx3P. I am thinking that the highest voltage is probably best but wondering what others think.
Doubt his has much bearing on it but I live in South Central Alaska so from late October to late February the solar output is minimal. I doubt anything will overcome that issue....
Thanks
