Hello, I bought a LV6048 knowing it has some voltage limitations, but I am ignorant of all the electrical talk I am not sure what options that leaves for panels.
The LV6048 manual says it has two MPPT controllers with these specs:
Max PV Array Open Circuit Voltage 145Vdc
PV Array MPPT Voltage Range 60~115Vdc
Min battery voltage for PV Charge 34Vdc
It isn't clear if that is the total for both, or each. Suspect someone here knows.
It is my understanding, to get the highest capacity, that a combiner would be needed. A local is selling used Trina 250W panels with this spec:
60 cell, 240-255W
Max power voltage 30.2
Max Power Current 8.13
Open Circuit Voltage 37.5
I intend to install them on top of a CONEX where I can install a single vertical row of 10 panels or two horizontal rows of 14 total panels. Can that inverter handle 10 or 14 panels?
Could someone help me calculate how many total panels I could use and how many strings to get the right combiner.
Thanks!
