Hello I’m a bit of a novice on the electrical front - hence my investment in the Apex300. I used AI to provide us with a charging solution and have just ended up cancelling an order that I placed for 4 solar panels !! So first things first don’t trust AI 100%
Having bought the the Bluetti T1Alternator charger this connects to 1 of the 2 DC imputs
I will use the 2nd input for a two panel solar array 200W x 2
However, these Renogy 200W ShadowFlux N-Type anti-shadow panels create a critical volage issue if wired in series!
Solution : Two Panels in Parallel
Power: 400W total
Voltage: 36.5V ✓ (stays same in parallel)
Current: 6.86A × 2 = 13.72A ✓ (within 20A limit)
Wiring: More complex parallel connection
My question is simple - is this OK or should I look at using another panel type that does not exceed the Apex300 power limit when wired in series. Apologies if this sounds like a real dumb question to those of you who understand electricity / solar energy fluently.
