Hi
I have the Yeti 3000x and currently have 4 200 watt renogy panels connected in parallel. The 3000x has a max input of 600w from Solar but was advised I could connect 800w from Goal Zero due to the inefficiency of panels.
The problem I have is that on a sunny day i'm getting more than 600w and the yeti shuts down the input to 10w so I have to go out and disconnect one of the panels to keep under the 600w max.
Currently I disconnect the MC4 connectors but would like to know if I can add a breaker between one panel and the Branch connector so all I need to do is to trip the breaker instead of having to disconnect the MC4 connectors?
Also is it safe to disconnect the MC4 connectors while the sun is shinning if I have removed the power connection to the Yeti?
any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
