Excited, finally arrived. Question, I have 10, 395 watt panels with a max voltage of 45 volts, do I use one or two strings? All the panels are facing south.
Jake, short answer is two strings of 5 panel. Your solar panels are likely to get up over 50v when it's cold. And too high voltage = magic smoke.
So 10x50=smoke. 5x50=250. What's the start up on the solar controller? I'm guessing like 80v.
