Need a little education on sizing each string. I bought a kit that has two stings of three panels each. How do you determine whats the best string size given a number of panels you have? In my case, two strings of three or three strings of two, or why not a single string of all size panels? Also, for future growth, I ASSUME the strings need to be the same size? Is this the same size in terms of watts produced, amps, number of panels, etc? I've tried searching, but haven't found what I'm looking for (I'm sure it's out there already, so apologize for what's probably a common question).
The "kit" I bought is 6 x 265 Kyocera panels, an Outback Flexpower unit, a combiner, and 4 batteries (and related cables and mounts for all this). I have the capacity with my Outback unit for growth, but it's easier to add a new string of two than it is a new string of three. Just trying to make sense of the benefits of doing three. Or for future growth, could I just add a panel to each string bringing it to two strings of 4?
