8 kw max panels.

Hi i would like to change the configuration of the pannels i have.

I currently have in this configuration

2 x MPPT

MPPT 1 = 10 x Qcell 390w G9 all wired in series 0 deg 10 x 45voc =450voc 10.71 Isc

MPPT 2 = 10 x Qcell 390w G9 all wired in series 18 deg 10 x 45voc =450voc 10.71 Isc

At peak this produced 6200w last year.

Proposed new layout

2 x MPPT MPPT 1 = 16 x Qcell 390w G9 wired 2 x 8 in series into 2 x parallel 2x 360v=180voc 2 x 11A Isc = 22A Isc MPPT 2 =16 x Qcell 390w G9 wired 2 x 8 in series into 2 x parallel 2x 360v=180voc 2 x 11A isc = 22A Isc

At peak this is proposed to produce 9920w


Unit max

10400w

425voc

2 x 28A PV ISC

Would this be ok? And would this be ok if it was to raise above the 10400w. i am ok with clipping aslong as the unit dosent get damaged.

Actually, your current setup is on the limit for VoC, your VoC 45.06 per panel @25C, which means @-10C you have 49.3V per panel.


Your calculations for 2nd setup are incorrect, it's going to be VoC up to 394V (-10C) and lower at higher temperatures.


But. other than that 2x2x8 is a lot better setup, you could even go for 3 string in parallel on each MPPT.


The only value you can't exceed is the VoC on the inverter and that is going to be ok.
