My experience with solar has been with 4 panels 100w each going into a charge controller and battery bank.
However, I got a quote from a family members client for panels at 70 cents a watt. Its 26 panels, 220w each, and the pallet is 26 units for a total of 5,720w rating.
If I feed these into the grid I have a few questions.
-Should these be wired parallel or in series, and what is the advantage of doing it that way?
-What hardware is good-better-best for tying it into the grid?
-Are there currently any legal practical ways to also feed and maintain some power into a battery bank for use if the grid goes down?
-When wiring these, is the process just to take MC4 splitters and combine 2 panels at a time, then take each of those and combine again? What I see in my head is something that resembles the shape of a tournament bracket for a sports game, is this the correct concept?
Any advice is much appreciated!
