Afternoon,

Want to add four 340 W solar panels to my existing system(8-340 W panels).  5Kva inverter.  Also to add one PylonTech 2.4Kwh to the existing three batteries.  Which settings need to changed to accommodate this?

Please advise.

Regards

More details like make and model of inverter would help to get answers.

For the extra panels no setting changes.

Depending what your current maximum AC charging and maximum solar charging to the battery is you could increase it. Just ensure you stay within the maximum as per specs is.

Make sure the panels are connected in parellel strings of 2 in series. Also add fuses for the new panels in combiner box. Also that the fuses after the combiner box is of a high enough value.
