looks like the identical label on the PV panels I bought used. the 61 amps I was getting was through 3 DSSR20's. Each DSSR20 was connected to a pair of the 250-watt polycrystalline panels with about 60 feet of 10 AWG PV wire. it depends on the sun and angle of course. mine is a fixed ground mount array. need to trim the tree away now as the sun moves to the north. shorter wire runs should be better -- a bit. I liked the Temco parallel branch connectors as they were very easy to use - just plug 2 panels together at the array and now twice as many amps going to the DSSR20. I bought the Temco branch connectors on eBay.Thanks for the reply! I have 250 watt 60 cell panels as well. View attachment 41990
Not sure I would get 21 amps out of my paralleled panels with those specs.
I have had cheaper branch connectors burn out on me but I would prefer those over lets say a bus bar in a joiner box. Would you recommend a specific vendor or just make sure its a Temco branch connector?
The 2P8S is genius, I must have missed that in the manual. Would it be endless as far as paralleling matched cells? For an example a 4P8S or more?
My runs from the solar panels won't be over 25 feet. I think I am gonna go with 10 awg temco wire, could probably get away with smaller wire.
Looking forward to seeing your heating setup in the future! I am wondering other applications for this waste energy as well. It is an awesome setup, thanks Dacian!
