Good evening community --
I have two strings of 8 panels in series, roughly 230v per string.
I have each of those strings paralleled together to go into MPPT_1 on the 6500ex.
- However, after adding the second string, I've noticed the amps really have not increased -- maybe slightly from just having the first string plugged in. Why would adding a second set of 8 panels in parallel to the first string of 8 not really improve the performance? I installed the second string of 8 on Thursday (6/22), so you can see it improves, but incrementally I think.
Total of 16 250w Trina panels 2S1P is what I have.
Any ideas on what to check? Is that all I'm going to get out of these? Better way to wire them together? Full sun most of the day, facing due South.
