Ended up getting 4 cs3u-340p panels for free last year. Finally have the resources to put a system together..
Each panel is putting out 42 volts when tested with multimeter..
Rated for 45v
Amp rating is 9 amps
I know these ratings are under optimal conditions ..
I'm not sure if I'm going to wire them in series or parallel (thinking parallel)
my question is should I look into a combiner box for added protection and simplicity of wires or is
The combiner box complete overkill and just add a mc4 fuse to each panel?
This will be an off grid system
Thank you
