12kW design using American made Jinko panels

[TheDan]

I will try to keep this as concise as possible while trying not to omit any relevant details. Since this is my first solar build I appreciate any advice or insight you might have!

I will have two SolarCity H6 inverters and each inverter servicing 2 strings of 8 panels (2S8P I believe).

Here are the details for the panels and inverters:

Jinko 405W panels
STC Rating	405.0 Watts
PTC Rating	376.1
Open Circuit Voltage (Voc)	50.1 Volts
Short Circuit Current (Isc)	10.48 Amps

The PV input specifications of the SolarCity H6 inverter are:
• Nominal Voltage: 380V
• Max. System Voltage: 570V
• MPPT Operating Voltage Range: 85V to 550V (120V startup)
• Full Power MPPT Voltage Range: 200V-480V
• Max. Allowed DC to AC ratio: 150%
• Max. Continuous Current: 19A per MPP channel
• Max. Short Circuit Current: 26A per MPP channel
• Integrated Manual DC Disconnect: 600V, 30A UL-listed switch
• MPP tracker/channels: two (2)
• Total input strings possible: four (4)

The AC output specifications of the SolarCity H6 inverter are:
• Nominal/Continuous Output Power (L-N / L-L): 3000W/6000W
• Max. Surge Power (L-N / L-L): 3400W/6800W for 10 seconds
• Utility Grid Support: Split-phase, three (3) wire connection
• Operating Voltage Range: 105V to 132V / 211V to 264V (ANSI C84.1)
• Nominal/Continuous Output Current: 25A
• Peak Output Current: 28.3A (surge)
• Nominal Frequency: 60Hz
• Frequency Range (adjustable): 59.3Hz-60.5Hz (44Hz-65Hz)
• Nighttime (standby) Consumption: <6W
• Total Harmonic Distortion: ITHD, VTHD <5% (at nominal power)
• Power Factor: >0.995 (0.8ind-0.8cap; at nominal power)
• AC Overcurrent Protection: 35A

Make sure the array is pointed at the sun.

Dod I miss the storage or is that not part of the build?

No storage, this is just going to be grid tie.
