Need help with my solar inverter

Featured Replies

I've got 5 340w panels in series an 1 in parallel

 4 facing east due to the roofs direction which I would like to change but space is an issue. 

2 of them are on the north side and only get sun around 10 or so.

My solar panel icon flash's until about 10:00 - 10:30.

My PV voltage sits between 119 and 130 max throughout the day.

Anyway we can improve the set up?

The one in parallel is pulling the other 4 down. Disconnect it and it should work. You need at least 120V for PV to operate meaning 4 in series. Try as close as possible to use the same direction but never south.
