For a single Furrion 165W solar panel (PN: FSFP16MW2-BL) the voltage at max. power is 17.9V, current
at max. power is 9.7A and the max. power is 165W.
After connecting two panels in series conguration,
The resultant array’s voltage at max. power will be 35.8V, current at max. power is 9.7A and total max.
power of the array is 330W.
The Furrion MPPT technology based solar charge controller can function eciently and convert
almost 98% of its input solar power into charging power with the help of the added voltage resulting
from a series connection of solar panels. The wire gauge of the array can remain the same, as series
conguration will keep the output current same as a single panel. Hence, it is recommended to
connect solar panels in series conguration in an array when using the MPPT solar charge controller.
When connecting solar panels in an array, care must be taken so that the resultant array voltage and
power parameters do not exceed the charger specications shown below.

Wire Size and Fuse Recommendations
● Wiring and installation methods must comply with national and local electrical code/
specications.
● The wiring specications of the PV and battery system must be selected according to the rated
currents specied.
● Since the PV outputs can vary due to the array connection method, the minimum wire size must
be in accordance with the maximum array short-circuit current.
● Please use PV Photovoltaic wire for connection of the array to the charge controller.
● It is recommended to install a fuse between the charger and the battery on the positive wire.
Location of the fuse should be closer to the battery. The fuse rate must be 1.2 - 1.5 times more
than the maximum rated charge current of the solar charge controller.
