Panel array for deye 6kw and Isc Voc

Hi guys first post, have got alot of info from this forum before registering so thankyou all.

I have a 6kw deye currently on order (6k-SG03LP1-EU) and am looking for panels.
I am in a fairly remote area of the Philippines and there's not alot of choice.

These panels are readily available and in stock everywhere.
The 550w give the best cost per watt, 14 panels give 7700w which suits inverter nicely and 2 strings of 7 will put Voc at 349V.

Current is where I get confused.
Inverter states max operating current 13A and Isc 17A,
Does this mean with these panels having Isc of 14A I'm good to go?

Also with 370V being ideal would it be worth shopping around for something that works out closer to that or is 349V plenty?
Daytime temps here are 27-34C year round.

Thanks

13a is the most it can make use of.
17a is the most it can protect itself from, if connected in reverse polarity by accident.

Should be well suited.

Yes and yes
You could do a little better.
But 349v isn't bad.

Thanks,
There's also LVTopsun 450w available,
41.4Voc, 2 strings of 9 is 373V....
That would be 8100W though not sure if that is too much over the 7800 max?
It's warm here but we do have overcast days for a good portion of the year so extra wattage is probably a good thing if its safe.

Yes that's fine.
You can go over on the amperage. (Called overpaneling)
But never exceed the VOC. That would release the magic smoke.

So.... if I have a a panel string with
370Voc NMOT and 415Voc STC
Would that be considered optimal?
415 is high but within spec and I'm assuming it would likely be around 370 most of the time.
We never get cold days here, always 27c or more once the sun is over the horizon.
See attached specs for these other available panels, I could get away with using 2 less panels this way and I am limited on mounting space.

This is the first time I have seen NMOT and STC rating on a panel datasheet and now I have no idea which was used on all the other sheets I looked at

Those should perform well.
STC is the results from perfect lab conditions.
NMOT is real world expectations.
Always use the STC (highest) VOC, for safety purposes.
Everything else will be closer to NMOT.
