This caught my attention on my Deye 5K inverter.
(Deye 5KW has 2 String Inputs, each with its own MPPT)
I have always thought that I could feed 3.5KW~5KW of PV power into a single string. In particular, I plan on oversizing my Solar Panels, to compensate for cloudy skies, to compensate for higher power draw in the afternoon and such.
I do not intend to pull more than 5KW out of this 5KW Deye Inverter.
Nor do I intend to charge my batteries at Deye's 120A max capacity.
I do however plan on adding and rearranging PVs such that my Deye would be able to start charging 60A~80A throughout the day (from 7AM to 5PM) and even 40A during cloudy days.
I do understand that components have maximum limits. Diodes and Transistors for instance will break if excessive current.
My question. Does Deye's MPPT circuit have limiter to prevent excessive power?
Should I rely on this? Or must I prevent it by limiting the PV itself?
PS. My current 16 Panels divided into 2 strings, can deliver only 3.5KW peak combined.
I plan on combining these into a single string (8 panels facing East, 8 Panels facing South), and then add another 6 pc of 500W panels all facing West.
