Hello, I am new to solar and have purchased a small off-grid solar system. I bought 10 325-watt solar panels and planned on wiring five panels in series and then combining both arrays in parallel. However, as I was looking through the specs of the EG4 controller, I noticed that the max current draw is only 18 amps. I hope someone can help me in this area, as my understanding of the current draw is how much a load uses. I think that according to the spec sheet, it really means the maximum amperage input from the solar panels. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, I may not be able to put the arrays in parallel because the Isc is 9.17 amps and (Imp) is 8.69 amps.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
