    Himal got a reaction from Garthox in Solar panels for 5kv inverter   
    @Nexuss you were spot on, no watt limit per mppt. System works great with all the panels on one mppt. Thanks for the advise.
    The installer and Sunsynk had a chat and agreed to try the 8 panels on one string for me.

    @Nexuss it's 545w panels, didn't think it would produce more then 4360w.
     
    @PowerUser no specific reason, they initially wired two strings of 4 panels and then had to subsequently make it one string.

    thanks @YellowTapemeasure - the table i shared above are as per the calculations from the link you provided. For 8 panels the max VOC is 435v at -10 degrees and 275v at 40 degrees. I'm definitely within the MPPT voltage range. Learnt alot over the past week. 
     
    @iiznh agreed - i'm going with 8 panels on one string to maximum the efficiency and i got a string available for future upgrades (hopefully not needed). Guess got to wait 4 weeks now for the installer.

    I've asked that question before I don't remember the answer, then 6 panels per mppt should be sweet spot?
