What panels should I use and how should I wire them to the 3 mppt's to max it out with the 15-20% over paneling,mounted on a wide long roof with this shape Λ but less of a steep angle?

Would like to use the highest wattage panels I have access to these panels would these work?

The 15k has max voc of 500v. So you can put 9 panels in series, assuming the temp adjusted voc stays under 500v.

Max amps is 26, so you can parallel 2 strings per mppt.

However, max power per mppt is 6.5kw, or 12 panels, or 14 panels with 20% overpaneling. 7 panels per string, and 2 strings per mppt.

14x3 is 42 panels.

Note: the 15k can only invert 15kw. Anything over that has to go to the battery. Once the battery is full, any excess is not used.

If you want a lot more than 42 panels, then parallel a 2nd inverter. You might need it for that much load.

I have (or, will have) 14 of the Jinko 535W panels on MPPT2 for my 15k. Currently running 7 of them in a temporary config until I can get my buddy over with his dingo to get holes dug for my EG4 bright mounts. Those panels are producing well in non optimal conditions, im sure the 565 will be even better.
