Hi,
There will be some panels mounted further away from the MPPT and inverter, about 20m away.
The panel configuration is 3s3p (3 series, 3 parallel). Each panel is 41.2V VoC and 12.28A Isc. That means over 30A when all are combined.
Victron says MC4 connections are rated to 30 A only, and as such, I plan to bring all the wires for each of the series (6 wires in total) to the shed, where I'll combine them appropriately and do the surge protection, etc.
I think this is better than combining the output at the panels' place (hard to access rooftop) and then bringing just two thicker wires to the shed, right?
Many thanks.
