I was going to connect 2 of my panels for a few hours as a trial tomorrow but now expecting huge rain all day.
I got the idea for this cabinet from the Ecoworthy combiner boxes. I think this should meet my needs and be as safe as can be?
The entire system is 10Ga (ground wires 6/7) with what will probably be a 65' run to the panels.
Final system will be 3x100W panels, each with it's own 10A inline MC4 fuse in series at 66Voc at 5.5A.
The input breaker is 16A and output breaker at 25A two pole.
Type II surge protector at 40kA.
Storing into 200Ah LiFe prismatic cells. Hoping to double my capacity to 400 Ah in near future.
I made an error in buying the 20A Renogy. I wanted to run 4x100W panels and this exceeds it's capacity. I was thinking that it was rated for 20A input up to 100VDC max. Brain fart there. It will only put out 20A and under optimal conditions will limit the 300W input from my array.
I should have spent the extra few dollars and gone with the 30A unit to meet my desired need.
Grateful for any thoughts or anything I'm missing.
