So, I have a 2026 IBEX 25MLB with Beast Mode package and there's 400 watts of solar on the roof. It's my understanding that the 2000 watt inverter can handle up to 2000 of PV watt input. I do not intend to install that much btw.
Without removing a panel to check, does anyone know who makes the factory solar panels as I'm looking for specs please?

Thanks from a new FR IBEX owner.
 
What you need to know is panel voltage (measure at solar controller panel port.), and the controller specs.

If the specs are part of the inverter,as you stated,what you have is referred to as a solar generator. In that case the specs are in the solar generator information.

The panels voltage should be the same. You already have the their wattage.
 
lol, so 200 watts divided by 12vdc = 16.66 volts and as they are installed in series, 16.66 x2 in series = 33.33 volts. I knew this just wasn't thinking of it. now to find 300 watt solar panels with 33 max volts and I can install them in series/parallel, ok. Thanks for your reply. I'm a newb to solar but understand watts and PIE rules...

You lost me!
200 watts divided by 12? That would be amps. That voltage Will change with battery state of charge, so will the amp output.

Climb on the roof and count the number of cells on the panels. 60 cells will produce roughly 29 to 30 volts mpp.(Maximum power point), with higher OC (open circuit). Your controller must handle OC voltage.

If you have 2 100w panels then if you panel voltage at controller is 19v they are in parallel. You can get that type panel in 150 w, but you are advised to stick with 100w panels. I won't get further into the details, but that is accurate.
