Hi All
I'm relatively new and still learning and been reading a lot on this forum, but a few things always crop up i don't quite get! I'm getting close to installing my system and have my hybrid inverter which has the following specs .......
i have found some solar panels with these specs
Pmax 410W
Imp 8.47A
vmp 48.41V
isc 8.95A
voc 60.32V
I'm not 100% on the exact definition of all of these, but i cant quite make the maths work with these panels i assume i can only get 8 panels in series (8 x 60.32 = 482.56) but in parallel 8.95 x 2 = 17.9 amps, is this not dangerously close to the limit? how close can i go, and does it even help? I'm looking at 18 panels which i assume is the limit 4s2p on one input and 5s2p on another, 19 panels would be under the 8000w limit but allowing for a could weather and I'm not sure how to wire that is that even possible?
id really appreciate the help as i may be able to pick those panels up this weekend and im struggling to get my head around it, many thanks in advance
