Hi Fellow Solar-ites!
I have an odd number (15) of panels and have connected them in series as 2 separate strings (8 and 7 panels). Can I connect these in parallel? If so, does this result in the amount of current generated being limited to the smaller (7 panel) string?
BTW the panels are all the same brand (Trina) and rating (450w).
I have tried to find an answer on the internet, but all of the articles I’ve found relate to connecting different voltage panels in parallel, not strings of panels.
Would appreciate some expert guidance on this, so I can figure out if it makes any sense to proceed with this approach.
Thanks
