should i take STC or NOCT voltage/wattage in consideration when calculating the max panel possible for my Inverter?

should i take VOC or Vmpp voltage in consideration when calculating the max panel possible for my Inverter?
-Inverter max wattage 6500w PV
-2 Mppt 3250w each
-Mppt Range max 425
-Pv input max 500v

solar panel datasheet attached

can i install 20 panels (450w) on my system considering that the 450w is only the advertising wattage while the real wattage is way less??

What is panel Voc and SCC max input voltage?
And what is lowest temp your array will experience?

Are you using a solar charge controller or (grid tied) inverter?
 
Panels rated at 25C so 9 deg diff.
Do your panels list temp coefficient? Using 4% in my calcs…
49V x .004 x 9 = 1.76V

MPPT max is 425V so let’s use that
425V / 50.76 = 8.37 panels for MPPT range
500 / 50.76 = 9 panels for SCC limits

20 panels not convenient.
9S2P for 18 panels.
With 1 more panel could do 7S3P

can i do parallel?
as my Mppt is 11A only per Mppt
total 22
so 9 on one mppt and 9 on the other?
 
the inverter is 13A on each Mppt so i cannot do parallels right ?

scc of panel is 11.5A
 
Photovoltaic input current (A)13A + 13A
Max. PV ISC (A)
16.5 A + 16.5 A​
Wow, thats odd. I have never seen anything like this.

Maybe somebody else knows. New thread asking about SCC input amp limits?
