Ok so I ordered stuff on Amazon. It's impossible to find pv wire pairs at the price santan solar has on Amazon. And santan uses usa made wire. I also noticed that there's a new version of the epever 40amp. Called the Xtra. Much better screen. Bummer finding out now after 2 new older ones.
I ordered a few branch connectors and some more pv wire for a 3rd cc.
I really and just doing this as I go along. I dont have a set in stone plan.
So I thing the other 4 240w panels will go on the other 40a cc in 2S2P. I wonder if I'm over paneling still ? ? or if 60amp cc could squeeze more out?
Using ohms law theres no free meal but I might not be doing this right.
8 240w panels 37.2v ocv 7.89amps each= 1920w 62.12 amps depending on how you wire it up I wonder if I can get much more than the 62 amps using MPPTs. Even if I did something crazy like parallel 8 panels I would still have 37.2 V or around 30 V for the charge controller to work with and bring down to 14.4 so there would be some amps converted there but I have no idea how much.
I'm just trying to figure out how to extract the most possible out of this situation
