Greetings everyone. I am new to all of this, including this forum, so please be patient with me. I have run into an issue. I ordered a battery from BigBattery.com, and the battery came with a home install kit. The kit included a Growatt 6000 inverter. All of this has been shipped, and is...

Here is the manual

On page 10 of the manual it talks about the max PV array open circuit voltage

Here is the Growatt5000 https://signaturesolar.com/growatt-48v-5kw-450vdc-stackable-off-grid-inverter/

The panels were on the house when I bought it, and the previous owner didn't pass any information on to me. I would have to climb up on the roof and count the panels. I know they produce near 4kw, because the inverter reports how much power it is getting.

You're talking a bit over my head here, but I did post an inverter that can handle up to 450v that only cost $900. As far as replacing the panels, I don't have the money to do that. I blew all of my liquid funds on the battery, so I will have to start saving up again.

So this is something I was talking to my brother about. He was telling me I would have to buy large resistors that can handle up to 4kw. Is there a way to split the voltage without installing expensive resistors?

I don't have the Growatt inverter, but here is my current inverter

OK. So you're saying if I rearrange the panels to be parallel this will reduce the voltage?

Here is the best shot I can give you of my panels right now. I'm still at work so technically, so I don't have time to crawl up on the roof

OK. I have the inspectors phone number, so I should be able to call him about that.

OK, I need to get back to work, I'll be back on here later this evening. Thanks for all the input everyone!
