Hello,
Its been a LONG time since my grade 10 Electronics class so please be patient.
I've made a solar panel that produces 27V and 13Amps in bright sun light. My design had a flaw in it so the amp's are much higher than expected (it should be 3.5amp) and at this point it's possible to modify the solar panel.
The problem is the charge controller I have only takes an input of 22V - 300amps.
I doesn't seem possible to purchase 1 resistor that handles the 13amp.
I have been struggling for along time trying to figure out what resistor(s) and in what configuration I need to cut the voltage by 5V.
Can someone suggest the correct series or parallel circuit configuration with the correct size of resistor(s) ?
Huge thanks
Derrick
