Posted December 17, 20195 yr HiPlease I need advice on solar panels I have a axpert 5kva inverter , 3 pylontech 3.5 kw , and 12 solar panels 330 w mono crystal I need to know how connect the solar panels in series or parallels and how many panel per group please advice Thank you

It's either 145 Volt or 450Volt? If its 145 volt you can wire 3 panels in series and 4 strings in parallel. If its the 450 volt MPPT you can parallel 2 strings of 6 in Series.

December 18, 20195 yr Author Thanks for the advice , if I put 4 panels parallel will my amps and voltage change compare to putting in series
December 18, 20195 yr You want to parallel strings of 3 or 2 panels, not individual panels. Each string should have its own fuse or breaker; MC4 fuses on the roof are most convenient for installation, but a nuisance if they blow (quite rare). The current for each paralleled string, which will approach the Imp for each panel, will add. So if the panel Imp rating is say 9A, then 4 strings will provide up to 36 A, a little more briefly under rare conditions. If you connect 2S6P instead of 3S4P, you will get the same power, via less voltage but more current.
