    Please explain series parallel question

    Very simple question for you experienced solar fans...If I am correct 3S 1P means 3 panels in parallel (even though that seems like 4 panels to me)..Could someone please explain why 3 panels in parallel is called 3 Series 1 Parallel...Why is it simply not called 3P?...thanks in advance

    Will this power a 12btu 110 volt minisplit... Does it have enough power to start it.... And if I want to run the heater for 4 hours at night app 1,000 watts how many batteries do I need.. If it doesn't have enough to start it can I just use capacitors to get enough amps for start up? Thanks
