solar pannel and mpp solar lv2424

[yeahnocluewhatimdoin]

i have the PIP-LV2424-MSD model. and am planning to attach 6 100w pannels here are the specs of the pannels

• Maximum Power(Pmax): 100W
• Maximum Power Voltage(Vmp): 18.2V
• Maximum Power Current(Imp): 5.49A
• Open Circuit Voltage(Voc): 22.1V
• Short Circuit Current(Isc): 5.86A
• Maximum System Voltage(Vmax): 600V DC

will i be able to connect the 6 panels in series or will it be to much for the mpp lv24

Is there a reason you are going with 6x tiny panels instead of big cheap panels?

nope, i bought them off a friend. he used em on top of his van for a few months then upgraded to bigger ones and sold me his old ones

I believe the LV2424 max PV input is 145V, you can just check your manual.
Open Circuit Voltage(Voc): 22.1V
6 in series = 132.60V, in cold weather you can add about 20% on top = 159V (145V at 10%).
I would do 3S2P.

thank you for the help. did you mean 3s3p or4s2p ?

Your post #1: " 6 100w pannels"
You only have 6 panels, so you cannot do 3S3P = 9 panels, or 4S2P = 8 panels.

ahhh i see. does 3s2p mean two sets in parallel of 3 in series ? also thank you so much for your help. its seriously appreciated

That is correct, you will have two PV strings, each string has 3 panels in series, the you connect the two strings in parallel, thus 3S2P.
