SolarEdge P320 optimizer and 120 half cell panel

[solr2aguy]

Hi, this is my first post. Thanks for reading.

I have some new-in-box SolarEdge P320 Optimizers that I am wanting to match up with some Hyundai 305 Watt panels (model HiA-S305HG). The Hyundai panels are 120 half cells. The P320 specs say that the optimizers are for 60 cell panels. Has anyone actually tried a 120 half cell panel with a P320 optimizer and can confirm that it works? SolarEdge support says they do not have sufficient documentation to confirm or not if 120 half cell panels will work. Appreciate the help!

P320 optimizer data sheet attached, along with the Hyundai panel specs.

Works as designed.
120 half cut cells are two 60 (half size) cell panels in parallel. This allows the same total output as a normal 60 cell panel with extra shade tolerance.

Ok, thanks @400bird. I just ordered the Hyundai panels yesterday and will be testing it out hopefully within the next couple of months. I will report back what happens.

Would be interested in hearing your results!

Will do. I am getting close to installing the racking, but that is going to take me a while since I am working on this in my spare time. I'm hopefully no more than 2-3 months away from connecting inverters to panels.
