Thanks for your help. What do you mean by each one? Do you mean each input via strings? Keep in mind you can have 2 strings in a channel in the inverter on input 1 PV. Same goes for input PV2. I read some one said 500 per channel. if you look at the chart, and the calculations it seems that you can put 24 panels on one inverter. In the chart the voltage for one panel is 39.61. If you multiply that by 24 you get. 950.64 which far exceeds the VOC limit. But if you divide that into 2 strings you get 475.32 which is under the VOC limit. That's why i asked is it 500 VOC per input channel (PV1) and an additional 500 VOC for input channel PV2 only or that refers to PV1+PV2 combined?
Not sure if you figured it out yet so this is simply an informational post.
Just to be clear. Are you saying that i can put up to 500v in pv1 input (2 strings lets say 250v each) and another 500v on pv2 (2 strings of 250v each). That would mean 1 inverter can support 1000VOC. I dont think people are studing the chart i provided in detail. I am trying to see if i can install 24 panels in a series like the chart states, without going over the VOC Limit
A string of series connected panels in parallel with another string of series connected panels the voltage stays the same. So connecting string 1 to string 2 you still have 250v.
Thanks for your response. I understand series vs parallel installation, It's just that because the chart never mentioned the word "parallel" and only "series", left me confused; but I see it's implied. I understand now it's a series/parallel combo. The thing about it is the kit does not even come with the extra wiring and connectors needed for a combo installation. So I will have to purchase them or eliminate some panels for a series only installation. Others in this group should be aware of this because I read someone else saying the same thing. Thanks again.
