Good afternoon everyone,
I am new to these forums and have found a lot of the information shared really useful, thank you for that.
I have a question and would like some assistance. I have a growatt SFF5000ES inverter, I am now adding panels to the system.
In this instance, I was looking at adding 10, 600W panels in series.
The data sheet is clear on the PV array,
Max. voltage is 450V
Max. current is 18A.
Max PV array 6000W
No worries with that, if I calculate correctly I could use 10 x 600W Canadian solar panels, but then my current is slightly over (18.4A) but the voltage in series is sitting at 413V using the Voc values.
I understand that one must not exceed the voltage limit, I get this, but the current limit is the one that is bothering me, would the 18.4A cause any issues on this inverter or will it clip the amps?
If I am completely wrong could someone guide me on the best array for this inverter, getting the highest efficiency from the inverter?
Thanks all.
