Running 4x12v (24.3voc) panels in parallel keeps voltage at 24.3 Voc while if I run 2s2p I'm at 48.6Voc. I understand the efficiencies gained of running the 2s2p configuration but I'm getting those at the cost of upping the voltage of the system. Does this make it inherently less safe should something go wrong?
The panels just have the MC4 connectors and it's on a van so there's no way to earth ground them and the panels don't have any ground to them, it's just the positive and negative leads. If the circuit somehow completes through the skin of the van it seems like the lower voltage would be a safer system, but I'm not sure how to think about it.
