Luxpower clipping solar

Featured Replies

Hi guys, I have a SNA5000 Luxpower with over 4,5kw panels. The panels are connected on one MPPT. I have noticed that I never get over 3.3kw even on the clearest day. I have learnt that the Luxpower can take upto 3.2kw per MPPT. My question is, would the inveter be limiting power from the panels? I have loads upto 3.8kw and always take the shortfall from the battery which is not ideal. Should I split the panels 5 and 4 on each MPPT? Or is it just what the inverter can produce with all the losses to be expected?

One Mppt is rated for 3200w so split the panels between the 2 mppt's as @zsdesuggested. Start up voltage of each Mppt is 110v so you should be ok. Yes it will clip anything above 3.2kw
