I'm Here, But I'm Not All There
I have to stay in a Single Series String to keep the Array amperage in spec for the project. But .... If I install the array with all 6 panels facing the south direction, the lowest 2 panels will be in the shade part of the day.
Panels REC TwinPeak 2
Rated Power: 375W
Open circuit voltage (VOC): 48.00 V
Max power voltage (VMP): 40.1 V
Short circuit current (ISC): 9.96 A
Max power current: 9.36 A
So what happens if I split the direction up with 4 panels facing one direction, and 2 panels facing the other direction ? Or all 6 on the other side?
There is not much pitch to the roof. The drawing below is actually too steep you get the idea. And in July the Sun is almost directly overhead (may even be a little bit north at solar noon).
- All panels have to run in one series string
- What happens in each of these three scenarios?
I am working 3 Options
Option 1 - 6 Panels all facing South
Option 2 - 4 Panels Facing South and 2 Panels Facing North
Option 3 - 6 Panels Facing North
