hello I have a growatt 5000es system and currently have a 6x 370w panel array, I’m adding an additional 6 of the same panels soon. I was thinking of running them as either 6s2p or maybe a 8 panel series and a 4 panels series because of mounts,
Then parallel down 100’ of 10 gage wire that is in current use,
Growatt spec:
Current 6 panel array series
370watt =2200watts
VOC 41= 246Volt
Amps 11.42
So in a 6s2p it would be 4400 watts at 22.84 amps for all 12 panels going done the 10gage wires for 100’ Which I believe ok as I’m not adding the voltage past the 246 volts correct per string? Would there be a problem if a did unequal strings of a 8 and a 4 for 12 total panels? Or is there a different config I need or should consider? Thanks for reading
