    Solar panel wiring for PIP LV2424 MSD 24V 2.4kW

    Hi, I was planning on adding 4 panels to the PIP LV2424 all in one inverter. The panels are between 33 and 37 volts at about 9 amps. The All in one takes between 30-80 volts. Would it be best to wire the panels in series? Thanks in advance.

    All in one Inverter recommendations.

    I am interested in a project where I can build a car trickle charger (110 only) (Tesla) and a OffGrid backup for hurricane season. I was thinking 24V for the starter system with a 200ah battery. Looked at the Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL LVM and the PIP LV2424 MSD 24V 2.4kW for an all in one solar...
