Since this is where all the cool kids hang out I would love some sign off on this setup. Getting ready to start spending money and want to make sure my permits are setup correctly.
Sol-Ark 12k
Solarever 445 Watt.
East - West panel configuration.
Sol-Ark has 2 MPPT's that allow 2 inputs per MPPT to combine.
East Roof - 8 Panels Series
West Roof - 8 Panels Series
Combined at MPPT1 to make 8s2p
West Roof - 6 Panels Series
MPPT2 6s
~~~~~~~~~~~
MPPT1
21.62 Amps Max
399 VOC
My thought on this setup is Amps is cutting it close and VOC is kinda close. I am in Northern CA so I dont see super cold temps. Also with each string being on different roof planes they will never see max at the same time. Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Will one side drag the other down?
MPPT2
10.81 Amps Max
300 VOC
My plan is to add panels to this MPPT down the road but if MPPT1 can't handle what is on it I can always move some panels over to this MPPT.
Thanks for all your responses!
