 +== panel selection for MPPT ==
 +
 +MPPT thrives on voltage.  In general, we should select panels that have the highest-practical Vmp while staying safely under the controller's voltage input limit.   MPPT efficiency tends to be greatest when panel voltage is ~twice the charging voltage. The exact ratio varies by controller so read the docs for specifics.

 +Note that [[electrical:solar:series_vs_parallel|panels can be run in series]] to increase their voltage.
