24v solar panels to 12v battery - how?
Hello, I am quite new with all these so any help is appriciate...


I have 2 Victron solar panels /Blue Power/ on 24v which i plan to instal on my boat.

You need to use the Victron MPPT calculator. Just choose your panels if you want them in series or parallel, your battery voltage etc. and it will tell you which controllers are suited
