[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 431659, member: 7268"] Nightjar that has me confused ? Wired parallel as the panels were standard, the amps should be higher ? In series the voltage will be higher but amps lower than the same panels wired in parallel? So when you say the upgraded controller handles it? You mean the 24 volts which is what you would get wiring two 12 volt panels in series ? Two 12 volt panels 10 amp in series would be 24 volts 10 amp . The same two panels wired in parallel would give you 12 volts 20 amps ? I might be totally wrong here :8 but just hate to see people pumping 24 volts thru their 12 volts systems and controllers .................. nasty result :o [/QUOTE]
