I picked up a 4KW PV system. Previous owner had gathered the equipment other things happened, and he had to get rid of it.
I have a lot of electronics / electrical experience, just not specific to this big of a system.
A couple of questions:
I have Sharp ND-224UC9BX panels. When wiring in parallel, can they just simply be wired + to + to + / - to - to - etc.? If one panel gets shaded, would the power from the others harm the dark one? [Do they need diodes to prevent backflow?] Fuses? Each panel, or a big one at the main tie point?
When wiring them, how important is keeping the resistance of each run to each panel / group of panels equal?
I am in central CT, what angle is optimal for a fixed mount facing south?
Thank you,
Dave
