We have a 15A rated fuse for the solar input on the Schaudt EBL 101 Elektroblock distribution box in our Hymer and on advice from Schaudt it is not to be exceeded.
We want to fit the max possible solar panels as we have used them on 2 motorhomes so far with good effect. The calculation involves taking the 'short-circuit maximum current' values and adding them together and I believe aim for a maximum of 90% of the fuse value = 13.5A
There is plenty of space on the roof for many panels so any combination will fit
OK. The most efficient way of doing this is to use two panels of unequal value, ie a 130W + a 100W to give 13.66A which is probably near enough.
The question may be silly... does using different value panels have any detrimental effect, ie create an inbalance?
Thanks
