Yeah I actually just started looking at this brand today. I do see the 5kw with the 450v input now. I think I may have skipped over it since the inverter is 240v out of the box, but now I see you can add transformer to accommodate 120/240v. I haven't looked into adding transformers at all...

Hah, maybe so. My brother in law runs a big electronic recycling company and they get tons of solar panels in that manufacturers deem unsellable for whatever reason, so he was able to spare me a few. Apparently these didn't provide ideal output, but there are stickers on them showing what their...

Thanks for the info. Yeah for whatever reason these panels aren't supposed to be wired in parallel. From the installation guide: The shorter string size and low string current of Series 6 Modules make it possible to connect multiple strings together in parallel and return a single pair of DC...

Sorry I’m just getting back to this. How exactly would it looks to do say 1s10p? Right now I have it drawn out as 2s5p with a positive “tree” of Y branch connectors and a negative “tree” of Y branch connectors, ending in just one positive and negative cable running to inverter. For 10...

Hi there, I'm working on a 3.5kw 48v system for my off grid cabin I am building. The trouble I'm running into now is how to best wire the panels. I was fortunate enough to receive 10 First Solar series six panels for free, the problem is they are very high voltage (168.2v mpp, 212.4 Voc). My...
