I'm a total newbie, trying to get my head around solar panel sizing. I already have a Victron MPPT 150 | 45 charge controller for my 12V, 280Ah battery bank.
I'm looking at getting a couple of 250 watt panels and wiring them in parallel. I've been trying to figure out the math, and I think that would give me about 26.6A of current.
Is my thinking correct, and will my 45A controller be oversized for just two panels?
Is a third panel okay, since that would get me pretty close to the 45A limit?
Also, would it be better to wire the panels in a series parallel configuration if I decide to add more down the line? Any thoughts would be a huge help!
