Can this unit work between the solar panel and the charge controller (24v panel)

Yes, this wattmeter will work between the solar panel and the charge controller ,but it is not a precision meter, some measurements can be +/- 10% . There is a better wattmeter but at a higher cost is ""Watt's Up" RC Watt Meter & Power Analyzer WU100 Version 2"

You will need a charge controller and wiring to connect the solar panel to the charge controller and the cable from charge controller to the battery.

The panels can supply greater than 30 volts depending on sun. It is the charge controller (also a voltage regulator) that supplies the charge voltage of 12 or 24 volts depending on how it is set. The more voltage your panels can generate the better.

I have used this to keep a 12 volt marine battery fully charged all summer and it worked well. I used a charge controller between the solar panel and the battery. This is the one I used.AGPtek® 30A Solar Panel Power Battery Charge Controller / Regulator 12V / 24V 30 Amp with PWM Type of Charging (Automatic Lighting Control + Time Functions). Of course, you can use any charge controller.

If there is a charge controller it should all work out of the box. I bought just the solar panel and the controller sold separately. The controller ensures the battery doesn't over charge and blocking diodes make sure the battery doesn't bleed charge at night time. I hope it all works out for you...

Yes, it can. You may use any array voltage up to 150 volts, but be aware that solar panel voltages rise dramatically as temperatures fall. Check the temp. correction factor of the panels that you want to use. Basically don't go over a 90 volt series stack of panels to provide a buffer for when the panels are unloaded and to account for that surprise freezing morning. Over voltage is the surest killer of charge controllers, also be aware that the unit is rated 30 amps output to the battery, not 30 amps in from the panels. David Wardle

No.The circuitry is designed to look at the battery conditions (voltage, current draw etc.) and another charger in parallel would confuse that.If you need more power, you need to buy a larger charger or get multiple solar panels and feed those into Delran's separate solar controller.

with a 24v system you need a 24v inverter to work directly with that system. I used mine with 24v panels connected to a charge controller with a 12v output, I used Outback Power controller FLEX max 60

Yes, but you will need a charge controller with this panel. A charge controller is designed to protect the battery by managing the charge rate.

I believe you will need two panels connected in a series for a 24 V system. My panel puts out 18.99 volts max, not enough for a 24 volt battery. hope this helps.

The solar panel voltage must be higher than the battery voltage you are charging. A 12Volt (open-circuit about 18 Volts) solar panel will not charge a 24 volt battery.

It's made for a 24 volt charge controller. If you just have a 12 volt controller get 2 100 watt panels from home depot and wire them in parallel.

I use my charge controller with a 12 volt converter, but I think you can put as much power in as you want,and that it will charge a 24 volt battery bank.Since I have 12 volt converter, I had to put all my 12 volt batteries in parallel, so as not to go above 12 volts and exceed the converters volts

this controller doesn't care if it is 12 or 24 volts,, not very many watts though,, it will take a while to much charge in that battery

I have had four one hundred watt panels hooked up to this same charge controller for nearly a year and it works fine. At first, I had them hooked up with the panels at 12v and the battery bank at 12v, then I switched the hookup to two sets of two panels in series to put the panels at 24v with the battery bank remaining at 12v. I get a little more power out of the panels this way because a lower amperage means a smaller voltage drop between the panels and charge controller, even though the wattage from the panels is the same. It works fine. With an MPPT controller, the voltage of the panels is not dumped directly into the batteries so you can hook it up either way. If you hook the panels in sets to reach 24v, then your only limit is the 30 amps to the battery bank. Anything above that is simply lost.

Yes, the charge controller will automatically bind to the single 12 volt battery, with appropriate charge from a 24 volt panel.

Sorry, but no it cannot unless your 24 volt battery is actually 2 / 12 volt batteries wired in series.
