As I plan out our new (hopefully off grid) house, I see that I have room for quite a few strings of panels mounted at various angles and orientations to optimize sun position and season. I want to use either ground mounts or mounts on only the steepest portion of the roofs (e.g. steep angle of the gambrel roof on the barn because of snow (we're in Maine).
For example, I could fit 6-7 450W panels on the steep portion of the gambrel roof of the barn, another 6-7 mounted vertically on the side of the barn (great for Nov-Feb), another 6-7 verticals on the side of the house, then 2-3 ground mount strings of ~6 panels each at 45 degree angle, perhaps oriented from SE to SW to optimize collection. You get the idea.... Each of these strings would therefore require a separate SCC as I understand it, so...
If I go with Victron, how many SCCs could I fit into a Cerbo GX, for monitoring? My alternative if I go with EG4, btw, is to just put in another 6000XP for every two strings, even if I don't need the extra watts the inverter would supply. Thanks in advance for advice, info, and commentary.
