haza Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 Hi every one .I am thinking of adding to my existing solar panels .i cannot see the make of the control box but if I could explain what it looks like maybe someone could tell me which one I have .it is 12inch long by 9inch deep blue in colour with this written on it ,solar charge controller ,emppt series with maximum power point tracking , I would put a photo up but I'm not very savvy on how to do that ,,could I just add too the 2x100w panels I have or not I'm sorry but I don't have any idea on how to go about this thanks for reading
mross Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 Who is it made by? Don't you have a manual for it?

haza Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Posted July 31, 2017 I have mis laid who it was made by but if and when I find it I will post thanks
rusty69 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) How about this one then https://loja.solarimpact.pt/attachments/attachment/816154 Edited July 31, 2017 by rusty69
reg Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 Really there is not enough information. If you can't provide a photo then Could I suggest that you unmount the box and look on the back if it's a known make then the info should be on it somewhere. Also if you can take a photo then you could try using Google image search here. https://www.google.com/intl/es419/insidesearch/features/images/searchbyimage.html
haza Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Posted July 31, 2017 Thanks so much guys ,and yes reg it's a lot like that where that is emppt60 the one I have is a emppt30 series
rusty69 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) http://www.chinasolarregulator.com/user-manual/emppt-30.pdf Adding panels will depend on the spec of your current ones and also what you are intending to add. If it is the one in the link, there appears to be two models, you will have to determine which you have, and what panels too. Edited July 31, 2017 by rusty69
haza Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Posted July 31, 2017 Yes that's the one rusty I have 2x100w panels I was told I could add a 130w to them .but like me the person who told me this was no to sure about this

The panel voltage and current (maybe on the back of the panel) And which controller you have: eMPPT3024Z eMPPT3048 Edited July 31, 2017 by rusty69
mross Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 here is a manual http://www.esol.cl/files/eMPPT3024Z-New-EN.pdf

If so then it's a bad idea to mix different types, or panels of differing specs together. Also how are the current panels connected parallel or series? This is important to know if you intend adding to them. Edited August 1, 2017 by RichM Image removed as requested by poster.
MtB Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 I'm curious about why the thread title is "Haza", when the content is about adding solar panels.

I suppose the OP could stick with his current convention by changing his screen name to Solar Panel, but it could get tedious if he has a lot of questions. 1
