Can I connect used residential solar panels to the Yeti Link to charge the Expansion Tank? I have a yeti 1500x which the panels charge it ok but I am not sure if the input volts is too much for the Yeti Link. See photo for solar panel specs. The used panel's output is about 85% (according to seller) of the wattage listed. 242 watts is the highest shown on the 1500x when charging it.

    Hi @wwilliams96,

    The Open circuit voltage for these panels are 45.9V. The Yeti 1500X can accept a max of 50V. These panels are within specs. Keep in mind that the optimal voltage for the panels is about 32V, so you may see less power coming through to the Yeti at such a high voltage.
