Technical FAQs 4

How many watts is a 36V panel?

So, for example, let's say you put two 18V 100W panels in series, which will give you ~5.5A at 36V. You could then wire one 36V panel parallel to the string of two 18volters because they are both putting out the same voltage. How many watts is that 36V panel? Let's say for example that it is a 300W panel putting out 8.33A at 36V.

Can I replace 18V panels with 36V panels?

The panels will deliver 36v ". This suggests to me that you could either be removing the 18V panels and replacing them with an unknown number of 36V panels, or alternatively adding new 36V panels along side the original panels. Both are still doable, but with caveats mentioned above.

Are all inverters compatible with all lithium batteries?

Not all inverters are compatible with all lithium batteries. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the inverter you choose is designed to work with the specific type of lithium battery you plan to use. Check Manufacturer Specifications: Both the battery and inverter manufacturers typically provide a list of compatible products.

Can a 12V battery be used as an inverter?

If you are using a 12V battery, then the input voltage of the inverter must match the battery voltage. If the specifications of the battery and the inverter do not match, the system will not operate stably and may even damage the equipment. In addition, choose the right inverter power and battery capacity for your home or commercial needs.
