MrM1, if you mind me asking..... Did you wire another SCC to the GW 12kW or was the addition of a 2nd GW ?

Thank you, by the way

Charging them as stated, was the plan. I was a bit leery about doing it, being new to this & re-re thinking most of my options & remedies. Sometimes, I have to not remind myself "Don't over think yourself into a problem that doesn't exist yet"....?

rmaddy - Yes the intial charge, EG4 lifepo 48V. Ultimately, it will be 6p. As for current voltage state, that info isn't available (yet to arrive)

So, instead of a an actually charger, is it feasible to charge new (LFP) batteries using an inverters SCC. The inverter wouldn't be under load or an any AC/DC out. Just PV in & the battery/batteries hooked up.

My 12k showed on the 10th & batteries should be here Monday ? ?

. MrM1 It appears we're in the spot (choices of inverters, wants & needs ?)

So from the responses you got, you can in essence run up to 14kW as long as its 7kW per array input ?

Yes I pre ordered it, yet still not here. The plan was/is 2 arrays

I have a similar style roof set-up. I decided to use FastJack posts. Swapping out the 3-1/2" lags for 4", through purlins to rafters

Understood, I'll find that info in inverter manual & set accordingly. Currently the battery bank is 48V FLA (-4°F to 113°F)/ (-20°C to +45°C). The plan is upgrading to 48V LFP in the future.

Thanks Hedges, a lot Due to the suns path & roof orientation, they would be in sun from 9am-5pm. I hadn't thought about doing a different orientation for a string (duh)?....love it tho. So with your advise & getting me rethinking, 2 strings of 2s4p, then a 2s2p in a different orientation (space...

I'm looking to do my best set-up for (20) Q-cell 405w panels to a Growatt 12kW inverter. Being a newb to all this & still learning, I'd sooner swallow pride than make any grave mistakes. So my question..... Whats my way to hook all this together? How many in series/parallel for how many strings...

I have...it's still a learning curve for me though. I will admit, as a learning curve I grasp concepts better doing the practical application. However, playing with electricity is "Read, view, then watch 1st" before delving into something that could wreck your whole day type of circumstance...lol

nice
