I think this will be the right way to connect my solar array?
Every paneel wil give (death south) ~40v 10 A.
3 panels combined will give ~120v at 10A
I would like to connect two sets of 120v 10a to one to make 120v 20A, see drawing.
this times two would give me 120v at 40a? charging at 2 times a 150v 30/40A victron charger.
But i have a couple of meters of 4mm2 wire/awg 11, 200 meters red and black combined 400 meters/1312 foot
So i can connect it what ever is best for cables with minimum of los.
I think 120v 20A aka 2 sets of panels, one with 16 meters of cable and the other set with 14 meters of cable will be enough to get to the solar/battery charger(will be Victron!) or??? you fill in the length or is it better to do one set of 3 panels 160v 10a with a separate wire or even chase 120v at 40A thru a 4mm2/11awg cable?
Please give me your thoughts, if my jibber jabber chat make any sense(sorry English is not my native language, and i refuse to use google translate)
or even 160v at 10A x 3 160v at 30A?
For finishing my roof atm (did entirely new btw) my easiest way would be connect 3 panels to 120v 10a or ~40v at 30 A? what are your thoughts?
I would like to connect them from top to botten all 3 and not from right to left all 4(160v and 10a or 40v and 40A) or there must be a lot of benefits.
I would really appreciatie your thoughts and the why it is the best.
Many thanks in advance with best regards Igor K
