Hi,
I am working on figuring out how to set up my solar arrays for the EG4 6500EX. Using SanTan Solar T Series 250W Snail Trails panels. I used Midnight Solar to calculate each string:
I found that 4 strings in series joined at a combiner box seemed to be the only way I could get to the 4000w PV input for each of the two MPPTs in the EG4 6500EX. I would have 2 idential 4000w arrays. I calculated I could use 10AWG PV wire for each string and combine them into the Eco Source 4 String Combiner Box. Both combiner boxes and both solar arrays would be grounded to the same 10ft copper ground bar in between them.
Each combiner box output would first go through a Schneider DC Breaker | 60A 160VDC (I realize I have 15A on the diagram), then both feed into the IMO DC Disconnect Rooftop Isolator Switch.
What am I missing with this?
Thanks for any input!
