I’m making up a small number of pre-production prototypes so I can test various configurations of multiple charge controllers. These will be:

  • One solar panel, two charge controllers, two batteries - this was suggested by a boat enthusiast who wants to use a single solar panel to keep two batteries (used for different purposes) topped up.
  • Two solar panels, two charge controllers, one battery - both panels in parallel would exceed the maximum current rating of the charge controller, so two would be used, one per panel.
  • One solar panel, one charge controller, one battery and a grid tie inverter - surplus power from the panel would be diverted to the grid tie inverter once the battery is fully charged.
