Last fall I built an off-grid hunting cabin and have decided to power with solar/battery bank and generator backup. I purchased the Hybrid MPP LV2424 All in one inverter/charger system and 8 x 230 Watt solar panels (37.0 VOC per panel) . I plan on running the solar panels in 2S4P configuration to stay under the 145V maximum input PV voltage and under the max input watts of 2000. I purchased a solar combiner box box from watts247 (4-2 Solar Panel Combiner Box – 4 circuits to 2 (2 to 1)- (2 x 63A max output) thinking I could use it in the same manner as the 4 to 1 box easily and it was $10 dollars cheaper! I have received the combiner box and realize I will need to branch the outputs for a single PV input into the inverter (goodbye 10 dollars saved). I now have several questions based on my mistake.
1.) Is there a specific bridge connection type that I should use for this purpose?
2.) Is 6 awg wiring sufficient to handle the bridged amperage?
3.) Do I need to fuse the bridged connection in some way?
Thanks for all the help! I cant wait to post my whole set up once I get it all figured out.
Cheers.
