I have a new EG4 6000XP setup that I just got rolling with one EG4 LL 48 V battery. (See pics) it’s working great!
I have 20x Sunpower 320 W solar panels. (Specs in pics) But I currently only have six of them hooked up in one series string connected to one leg of the 2 EG4 PV inputs.
On a sunny day I see around 300-350v going into the charge controller on its display.
I would like to maximize the solar inputs going into my system. With all 20 panels, It should be close to 6400 W max (but they’re old and I’m sure they’re weaker then the printed specs) and the EG4 says it can handle 8000w.
How can I hook up all 20 of my solar panels (or at least the most that I can use) to my 6000xp? The manual says a max input of 480voc.
I need advice on how many Parallel and series strings to setup with how many panels, using both PV inputs.
Thank you guys for any advice!
