"I would like to connect them and run them into one of the mppt inputs of the inverter" . By this statement he is definitely confused. You don't hook your panels to the inverter.
I don't see the confusion.
I have two inverters, one grid tied which has 11kW of PV connected to it's two MPPT inputs, and an off-grid inverter which has 2.2kW of PV connected to it's solar input (a PWM in this case). Not all inverters are "just" inverters. Many are multifunctional.
I have a total of 12 panels on the east ( 1 group of 8 and a second group 6 feet away of 4). On the west I have a group of 4 panels that are just over the ridge line from the group of 4 panels on the east . On the south I have another group of 8 . I was actually going to put the two groups of 4 , one on the east and one on the west into series into a mppt input .
The inverter is a Deye 8kw it has two mppt inputs that will accept a pv voltage of 100-500 vdc , the mppt range is 125-425 vdc . One of the mppt inputs will connect to an array of 8- 370 w panels . The other input will be used for the two groups of 4 panels
There is nothing wrong with paralleling arrays with different orientations, you just need for each string to have the same number and rating of panels. If you are looking at an East + West combination then you don't want the tilt of the roof to be steep. A shallower tilt the better in this instance.
Better combinations for parallel arrays would be E+S or W+S.
Just clarifying:
Do you have:
E: 12 x 370W panels
S: 8 x 270W panels
W: 4 x 370W panels
Tigo optimisers on all panels
1 x DEYE 8kW inverter, with 2 x MPPT inputs, each with a 22A limit and Voc limit of 500V (MPPT range 125V-425V).
Is that correct?
370W panels are probably going to have a Voc of ~40V, call it 45V for a bit of low temp headroom. 8 panels per string will be fine. 4 panels in a string operationally is going to be ~135V, so at the low end of the MPPT range, but it's in range.
If it is then this is what I would suggest:
MPPT1: 8S + 8E
MPPT2: 4E + 4W
That said with the optimisers you could try running the E+W as a single string in series. The optimisers will be made to work harder in that configuration (it's what they are for), but I think I'd be inclined to stick with 4+4. If there's any way to make that MPPT's input a 5+5 configuration it would be better to help get the voltage up a little more. 4 panels in series is on the low end.
