Hello All,
I wanted to share a solar distribution setup I saw at a remote telemetry station and wanted to hear your thoughts. This telemetry station consists of a 48V solar panel feeding a charge controller which feeds a string of battery totaling 48Volts. There is a second load charger which "transfers" the energy from the same battery to the DC load. Both chargers are from the same vendor - Morningstar. I was wandering why they would use two battery chargers, instead of one battery charger and one power supply. I'd think a 48Vdc-48Vdc power supply would provide stable voltage for the load and filter out any "irregularities" on the input.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
EE
