Hi all,
New to the forum and the solar energy topic. Been reading a lot on the web and the forum. I leave in Puerto Rico specifically in the center (the mountains). As other has post we get hit by two hurricanes and the last one (Maria) was a direct hit. I still dont have utility power and wont expect it in a few more weeks or maybe months. I purchase some panels and charger controllers and hook everything together as follow, before I list everything I learn the hard way and know I have the wrong setup but at lease got juice to power the frigde, tv's, charging stuff, internet and the washing machine.
Here is what I got with descriptions. Feel free to advise or criticize so I can fix and learn more about it.
6 - Orion 1000 ECO260 (32V Vmp @ 8.13Amp, 38V Voc) They are in a 3 set in parallel to the charger controller
2 - MPPT30 (I know they are not true MPPT, they are more a PWM)
2 - 6 volt FS8-D and 4 more waiting for delivery
1- 2000 watt 12V inverter
I already purchase a Outback FLEXmax 80 and also considering on a 24Volt Inverter. I know the best route is 48V but the budget is a big issue right now.
What will be the best configuration to wire the panel when I get the outback CC?
All in parallel? or 2 in series and then in parallel?
Thanks in advance.
