Ernie, when I had them in series I was getting an over voltage error. I was getting 80 volts. Luckily the charge controller shut off so it didn’t get fried. I was thinking I needed to run them in series to get 400 watts but what I was doing was just increasing the voltage. On a sunny day I’ll get 20 volts and about 7-8 amps. You take care as well and thank you.
@@mattlacombe3912 Matt, parallel connections may work better and provide you the wattage you are looking for. When a panel connected in Series is shaded it effects the whole string. Just know you may not see 400 watts unless it’s under ideal conditions (either way connected). Glad your controller didn’t fry and it shut down. Don’t get discouraged. I’m still learning - it can be confusing at times. You read and watch videos one day and think you have it down. The next day you watch another one and that person did something totally different . Hang in there.

How is it working being wired in Series ? I heard if shading is a factor on the panels Series may not be the best. Just asking. Good video, take care

@@oskosh50 True. I’m just experimenting with this shed. I’d like to one day take what I learn to use on the house.
What’s kind of inverter is that? I’ve never seen one with two switches like for switching from lead acid to lithium
It is from a company called ECO Worthy. Yea, first time I’d seen that too.
