Wife & I finished placing the 12 PV panels today!
Next week I’ll go pick up the batteries, and we can turn this thing on for the first time.
There is room for 4 more panels on the frame, so we could do 16.
Is the following the correct way to proceed to add 4 more REC 365AA?
Currently have 12 panels in series, about 524vdc @ 9.5A
The charge controller is a Schneider Conext MPPT 100A 600VDC.
It operates from 230 to 550vdc.
So I can’t put any more in series, or voltage will be too high for the CC.
Adding 4 panels, I could split into two strings of 8 series.
That would provide two series strings of 352vdc, 19A, connected in parallel.
5840 watts.
Is this the best way to use 16 of these panels?
Thanks,
