Hi All and Thank you for excepting me on this forum.

Please if somebody could help me with a schematic drawing?  Need to get my head around this.

I Need to install 12, 365W Solar panels on a 5Kva Inverter.  Herewith the Inverter and Panel specs.

I need to know how to connect them in a "Series-Parallel" connection.

Many Thanks,

5Kva Inverter

Inverter Mode:
Rated Power: 5000VA/5000W
DC Input: 48VDC, 117A
AC Output: 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 22A

AC Charger Mode:
AC Input: 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 35A
DC Output: 54VDC
Max. 60A, Default 30A

Solar Charge Mode:
Rated Current: 80A
System Voltage: 48VDC
Min Solar Voltage: 40VDC
Max Solar Voltage: (VOC): 145VDC

 

Panel Specs:

 

Panel Details:

Nominal Maximum Power: (Pmax):         365 W
Optimum Operating Voltage (Vmp):        39.8 V
Optimum Operating Current (Imp):          9.18 A
Open Circuit Voltage (Voc):                         47.2 V
Short Circuit Current (Isc):                            9.75 A

Maximum Series Fuse Rating:                     30 A

this is series

 

This is parallel , not so long ago I was new ....

to many same uploads, sorry

Series , adds all the Watts , parallel adds all the amps and keeps the watts the same (namely volts)  a better picture. Searched google for solar parallel and solar series for  these picture, Better explanation of Parallel

Connect them as 6 parallel sets of 2-in-series.

 I have the same panels and tried them as 3S4P but ran into problems (on a similar inverter).  Changing to 2S6P solved all of that.

Is this an Axpert inverter? If yes, then the MPPT will derate above above 115V (if I remember correctly, but you should be able to find that in a post somewhere here on the forum)

In that case, 2 panels in series (2S) in a string and 6 strings in parallel (6P) will be the best as per @Calvin above

Thank You Everybody for your answers.  This is an Axpert yes.

It also seems to me to go the route of 2S and 6P.
