Re: [Electric Boats] Solar panels on the boat deck: what are safe voltage level?

 

I also recently added three Renogy 100W panels, putting them in series
to run my Morningstar T-45 controller (set to 56.0v) feeding my
'48v' (4P16S using 12Ah Headways) LiFePO4 bank for running the
Torqeedo 4.0R. Made adapters to go from the watertight MC4 connectors
to Anderson PowerPoles, which I've standardized all over the boat. Not
worried about this voltage as the only place 48v is exposed is at the
transom-penetrating feedthru terminals for attaching to the outboard
cable and its 120A Anderson connector. I also can quickly reconfigure
the Renogys to feed my AGM 12v bank controller. Feeding directly is
more efficient than my backups which are 12v-->48v and 48v-->12v dc-dc
converters.
