Connecting Photovoltaic Panels to Windmill Using ML 2420 Regulator and AGM-100 12V 100Ah Battery

Question

Hello, I have recently added a windmill to my mini solar farm and the thing is whether I can connect the panels and the turbine to one regulator from the panels. I have 5 panels, I will provide a photo with the parameters below, I have the ML 2420 regulator connected to them, it is 20A with 100V...

Hello, from what I understand, you want to connect the fan to the panel regulator. This is not possible on this controller. You need to look for a hybrid regulator or use a separate regulator for the fan and connect it in parallel to the battery.

Each of the regulators will limit the voltage to the value needed to charge the battery. However, when there is sun, there is no wind and vice versa, we are talking about wind sufficient to drive the turbine so that it can work. Most turbine regulators, when the wind is too turbulent, make an artificial load to slow it down and protect it from damage. In contrast, the panel regulator will simply disconnect the panels if the voltage exceeds the upper value on the battery.

Oh, because I once read that the diodes go to one regulator. Wouldn't those two controllers conflict with each other?

The M300 at its current price is not a good choice. It will be more advantageous to buy the S300, and this one usually has a charging controller in the set. Then you simply connect the output of the turbine controller to the battery and that's it.

And one regulator will not work for the other somehow not favorably? And in total, I could easily add one more 100Ah battery? Is it rather too little current to charge?

Thank you all for your replies ?

Colleagues, write more about how such sets work for you and how they were combined? I mean a system where we mainly draw and store energy from PV and the turbine is to support the batteries and slow down their discharge.

And what would happen if I connected such a 12-24v turbine in series with the panels and to the old-time inverter ?? Regards

MichałS · Answer

You would immobilize the installation, and depending on the voltage from the panels, the turbine would short-circuit/burn.

In my case, in parallel connection of the fan and the panels, the fan regulator heats up. Is it acceptable? I haven't checked it to the end, but when there is no wind or sun, the gel battery discharges. Please give me info on this

MichałS · Answer

Nothing writes what type / voltage of work / how it is connected.

Sorry I'm improving ? 2xSolars 150w12v , Solar regulator PWM12/24 connected to a 12v 100Ah battery 12v 400w windmill, FW12/24 wind regulator connected to a 12v 100Ah battery Solar and windmill counted in parallel with the battery. The wind regulator is heating up, the battery is discharged

MichałS · Answer

Much indicates damage to the wind regulator. Is this the version with the gray sticker or the orange one? The gray one has its own current of 20mA, which is too little to heat up the housing.

renataandrzej · Answer

Yes, you are right, it turned out that the wind regulator is damaged. When it is not charging (there is no wind) it consumes 3.28 amps. Today I crossed Thank you for your help. I will replace the regulator with an Mppt with an orange sticker. He is said to be better. Thank you again?

MichałS · Answer

Can you count on an autopsy of this damaged one?

renataandrzej · Answer

I'll try, but I don't promise I'm earned, busy ?
