Hello
New member here. Been Lurking for a while and I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 16.5KW grid tie system. I need help with the input voltage of the inverter I am looking at. The inverter has 4 MMPT with Nominal voltage of 360V and Operating Voltage range of 50-550V. I am getting 36 panels so I was hoping to run 4 strings of 9 panels. The panels have Operating Voltage of 42.4V and an Open Circuit Voltage of 50.8V. I tried discussing this with the manufacturer but seems like something was getting lost in translation. Can I Run 9 panels with these numbers or do I need to get a second inverter and just add 4 more panels to run 5 strings of 8?
Thank you for all the great info on here and any help thats offered.
