I have 21 older Sanyo HIP-200BA3 solar panels just removed from my roof (long story). I want to use them with an EG4 6000EX (I have a deep well and water pump, limited money and this is just an experiment for now.) I've done some calculations and want to be sure I won't kill either component if I use them together.
Specs for the panels are 200watts, 68.7 VOC, 15amps. I plan to use 7 wired in series to power the 6000EX. Specs on that are 7500watts max PV input, 500 VOC max input, 27amps input. My calculations (if correct) show the 7 panels will produce 481voc, 15amps and 7214 watts, which appear to be fine for the 6000EX.
Do my calculations look correct?
Just noticed that the 15amps is the recommended fuse rating...would Maximum Power Current (Ipm) at 3.59amps be the correct number to use to calculate watts?
Thanks.
