Designing my first solar system for use in the EG4 mini-split (adding heat/cool to detached garage)
I have 8x 100w/12v EcoFlow panels.
Recommended solar input for the EG4 minisplit is 1000-1600W (90VDC-380VDC), so I am coming in a little under the wattage (will use AC power to fill the gap)
First go at the blueprint:
Here is what MidNite's solar sizing tool spit out for all 8 modules in series like above. Am I understanding correct that the series is best given the 90v minimum input voltage of the heat pump?
Thanks in advance for the help, looking forward to learning more with the community here
