<div dir="auto"><div>Andrew, <div dir="auto">As long as you have proper over current and wire sizing, there shouldn't be a problem with paralleling C60s. Of course, keeping the batteries at 12v for a 2kw array makes everything else bigger and more expensive. And they won't get the MPPT advantages of even 20 year old charge controllers. Sounds a little silly to me, but I'm not there...</div><div dir="auto">Howie</div><div dir="auto">Sun Catcher </div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 7, 2024, 12:25 PM Andrew Perkins via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u><div><div style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div><div style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div>Hello Wrenches,<br></div><div> I have a client who has a large 2000 watt 12v array that he said used to be hooked into an internal solar charger on his old trace. Never seen a trace with one of those in it but he claims it could do 200a. This internal charger has now died and needs a replacement. He is refusing to rewire his panels into a new configuration and their aren't many options for him out there. I did get him a Coleman Aire 400a Charge controller but it is more of a load controller and wants to be able to properly absorb is batteries off the sun. He currently has a c60 running only part of the array and now he is asking about running another c60 in parallel. Not quite sure if this would work or not but my gut feeling says no and there will be problems. <br></div><div><br></div><div>If anyone knows of any controllers that would fit that or if running those in parallel works your advice would be greatly appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div><div id="m_4883973777219365749m_5180369092801248864x_1415189516"><p style="line-height:1"><span>Andrew Perkins</span><br></p><p style="line-height:1"><span>Greenwired </span><br></p><p style="line-height:1"><span>P: 707-923-2001 ext. 100</span><br></p><p style="line-height:1"><span>1150 #1 Evergreen Rd</span><br></p><p style="line-height:1"><span>Redway, CA 95560</span><br></p><div><span><a href="http://www.greenwired.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">www.greenwired.com</a></span><br></div><div style="line-height:1"><br><img height="30" width="150" src="cid:0.28869225360.8199576278942025518.18f53d69967__inline__img__src"></div><div style="line-height:1"><span style="color:rgb(203,204,0)"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></span><br><br></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div></div><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>
