Will see what happens. The post is almost level with the apex so as the sun moves round, the shading will be on the side that is getting less sun anyway so may not have an effect. Given the low cost, as long as I get more output from doing both sides of the roof, then it will be a win

Thanks for your confirmation that it should work. All panels the same same -REC 250v The 2 strings of 6 panels connected in PARALLEL- not series (was a mistake in original post) A little shading from post but only when sun is lower in sky early and late in year but will be at approx 45 deg to...

Hopefully be OK then as I will only get around 180v off the 6 x 250w panels on each side.:)

This was my thoughts but only if I am not likely to damage the inverter. The MPPT can't influence what power the panel produces - surely it will make the best job possible of using the power added together from the 2 strings as an input. I am unsure why the inverter would be confused by the...

I cannot get another Solis at that price as it was the last one he had- apparently he had bought some bankrupt stock and was selling them off. Can't see me getting batteries - don't thing its worth it on 3Kw but may get a diverter and heat some water.

model no. is S5-GR1P2.5K-M Could get another duel MPPT inverter but might be cheaper to get a smaller second hand one for the other side? The new inverter only cost £120 and it would only cost about the same to complete one side as I have the panels already. Some of the more powerful panels...

Kiddell said: What I was wondering was could I wire in 2 strings of 6 panels (one on each slope) and then connect the 2 strings in series? . Sorry, yes- was being chased up for tea so didn't re-read.

Hi All. Looking for a bit of advise. Having purchased some second hand kit very cheap, I am cosidering putting some panels on my Garage roof - 3Kw in total, split equally East/West. I thought i had done a bit of research after seeing an inverter for sale locally and worked out that all Solis S5...
