I have acquired 12 used solar panels (Sova Solar, model # SS280P-72, The panel info tag states, max power 280, open circuit voltage 44.4, voltage at pmax 36.7 and current at pmax 7.78) all panels work. I have also acquired Delta H6 6000w Grid Tied Inverter. I have 100 ft of solar copper wire, 5 pair 4 to 1 Y cables, 2 pair 2 to 1 Y cables, and solar crimping tool and mc4 end connectors.
My electric bill is 600-700 a month, all i am trying to do is lower my bill by half for now. So, I am building a 35X10 patio that will hold 15 of these panels. The questions I have are:
1. What else do I need to hook this up?
2. How do I hook up the panels in a series or parallel?
3. I have a 220v line for a Hot Tub i removed with a 50amp breaker to tie into. Can I tied into the grid there?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you guys can give me.
