Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

ONE STRING IS 400 VOLTS 600 WATTS
OTHER STRING 200 VOLTS 300 WATT THIS IS THE RATIO

ONE STRING IS 13 PANELS OTHER STRING 12 PANELS
EACH STRING GOES TO ONE PORT IN MAC SOLAR 5 KW
ONLY DOING 20 KW PER DAY
ON THE ROOF THERE ARE 2 ROWS OF 5 PANELS and 1 ROW OF 7 and row of ROW 8
the inverter accepts 10-60 % over so will accept the 2 strings one 13 panels and one 12 panels
supposed to 5 kw

one row not connected or functioning ?

Hi Tom,

I can't quite figure out your configuration? Are all the panels nominal 12V panels? Are the panels all the same wattage? If not, what are the values?

Are the panels in each string all in series and the same wattage?

I don't understand your first couple of lines? Are the voltages quoted the open circuit, full sun values? How is the wattage calculated?

Cheers, Doug.
