Current system
One 6500 in single phase 120
6 Lifepower4 batteries
Old MPPT 1 has 2P12S
Old MPPt 2 has 2P18S
All PV are 170w
Total pv array 10kw
Quick observation. Swapping the PV did something to raise my total PV output. Not sure how and still processing the information. Any help to explain would be appreciated. Only thing I can think of is by swapping the PV arrays, I reset the arrays.
Longer explaination..
I swapped or flipped the two MPPT channels to below.
New MPPT 2 has 2P12S
New MPPT 1 has 2P18S
I was going to work on the roof and needed to shutdown the 2P12S array. In that process, I unhooked both arrays and decided to put my bigger array on MPPT1.
When I opened up SA, the total PV output jumped from 600w to about 900w (this only had the 2p18s array connected).
5 minutes later I am still scratching my head. I decided to hook up the 2p12s array.
Below is a 15minute chart in SA
And a 30 minute chart that barely catches the time when I made the swap.
It's cloudy / overcast in the 10.xx AM
Hopefully you can see when I made the swap.
Other info
Peak daily PV collection is 20kwh
I am eager to see what I get today.
