Hello everyone, I just purchased this (plus two extra of the panels for a total of 8 x 415w panels):
I'm trying to make sure I should go with a series panel connection. From what I can tell, parallel pv connections are typically for 12v systems. Is there a good reason to do parallel panels in a 48v system?
Also, my kit did not include a solar panel disconnect switch, or the T Class fuse on the parts list, following dead simple schematic per Will Prowse, below. Would you guys add any components that my kit did not, given the load? I'm in Southern Oregon, and there's an abundance of sunshine in the summer, but not so much in the winter. My priority is running a 9k 115v 20 SEER mini split to keep my tiny house at least 50 degrees F around the clock. I do have a small sub panel similar to the one in the photo...
