If two or more panels are wired in series it will be voc of panel 1 voc of panel 2 etc.
24v solar panel open circuit voltage.
Good question and all your measurements makes sense too.
Some manufacturers name the optimum voltage as vmax.
14 6v 29 2v 43 8v 58 4v recommended battery capacity.
Lead acid sealed gel flooded agm lithium constant voltage charging voltage.
250w 24v 60 cell panel 37 39 voc.
100w 12v 36 cell panel 20 22 voc.
And will not go to either bulk or float.
200w 24v 72 cell panel 40 44 voc.
This nomenclature worked really well because most systems had 12v or 24v battery banks.
I purchased a 24v solar panel thinking it would output only at 24v or less if there wasn t enough light.
Immediately tested it in indirect light it s producing 38v.
Measuring voltage and solar panel testing.
When you had a 12v battery to charge you would use a 12v module end of story.
Open circuit voltage voc the open circuit voltage is the maximum voltage that the solar panel can produce with no load on it i e.
Keeping in mind the coefficient common readings are.
Voltage at open circuit voc.
Voltage at pmp 36v.
50ah typical idle consumption.
Measured with a multimeter across the open ends of the wires attached to the panel.
Here 24v is different from open circuit voltage voc.
Measuring voltage and solar panel testing.
On the box it says nominal output voltage 24v.
Short circuit current isc.
In the shed you ll get just about zero charge but with full sun around midday you should be getting close to 10amps from that panel.
The optimum working voltage can be limited with a resistor that takes the absolute voc edge off.
To test open circuit voltage take your multimeter and set it to voltmeter and place the probes in the correct connectors and set to volts dc.
The 24v solar panel means that the optimum output voltage of the solar panel is 24v at stc.
700w 12v 1400w 24v battery type.
Open circuit voltage voc.
An open circuit voltage of 24v tells me you panel is fine and a battery voltage of 12 6v means it s about 80 90 full.
