Next question. If I parallel 2 panels I get 28.01 lsc. The MC4 is rated at 30A. This doesn't include temperature corrections.
If I put all the panels individually into a 4 string combiner box will this put them in a parallel output without using branch connectors or will the resulting output be as if they were in series?
So basically I'm asking will a combiner box with 4 panels each plugged in as their own separate string gives me:
199.8 voc at 14.05 lsc
or
49.95 voc at 56.2 lsc
or
Something else?
I saw a thread on it when searching for the answer but the end of it got muddled up so I want to make sure I understood correctly. It multiplies the amps in the combiner box when you run the strings in correct?
If I did understand correctly then if I for example put 2 strings of 2 panels in series then it would look like:
99.9voc 14.05 lsc. for each string going into the box from the PV. Then 99.9 voc and 28.1 lsc coming from the combiner box to the controller.
