Can I charge a 12V or 24V battery bank with a series wired solar panel system that has over 80 Volts load?

What's the maximum for PWM charge controllers?

Comments

No, you can't connect input voltage that is significantly high. The nominal voltage of the PV array must match the nominal voltage of the battery bank.

For example; for Morningstar ProStar PS-30 charge controller;

  • Max. Input Voltage (Voc): 58V - for 24/48V battery banks
  • Max. Input Voltage (Voc): 25V - for 12V batter banks
