Why Solar Panel Voltage is Good

You want to get the most out of your panels and the Sun each day. This is why how your panels are wired, and a good MPPT charge controller, is so important. Charging batteries starts when the solar system can produce about 5 volts higher than your battery.

We wire solar panels to produce voltage earlier in the day while balancing wire sizes and potential shading impacts. Take a look at the picture and you will see at 6:55 AM I am already producing a charging current.  It means the system will produce more energy during the day v. systems configured in a less optimal manner - despite if it has the same wattage.

Another reason why doing it right the first time is so important.
