October 7, 20205 yr I have worked through Gerhardt’s helpful post but I do need some extra specific help. Can anyone help me please. I am going for the same/similar Sunsynk 5.5kW super hybrid inverter and the ZTE ZXDC48 FB101 4.8kWh Li battery but planning to use the maximum strings of Canadian solar 410W super high power PERC with MC4 panels (ie 8 in each string) but my installer thinks 16 PV s are too much even though the 1 string will face north-east and the other north-west (90 degrees to each other). He warns that I could generate an over voltage in the system and fry my inverter. So this is my dilemma and I am hoping someone clever may be able to help me solve it. (I think this system will be optimum. The installation will be near Howick in KZN.) Thank you.

(If you let me know the inclination of the panels I can generate a graph of your potential solar production for you) Assuming that I looked at the correct data sheets, you system would be nicely optimised.
October 9, 20205 yr I have to agree with Calvin here. Looking at your proposed VOC, system losses as well as the fact that both arrays will never see equal amounts of sunlight at the same time, I would say that it should work.

Peak production would be about 0.97W per W installed, or 6.36kW. Note that all these figures are at 25C panel temperature. Actual production would be about 10% lower at 55C and 7% higher at 5C.
