So my array consists of an SMA SunnyBoy 6.0 US inverter (3 mppt) with 28 SolarWorld SW270 panels.
My strings are set up as MPPT: A=8 panels , B=8 panels and C=12 panels.
I would expect that channels A and B should both be putting out similar power with the max at 8 panels times 270 watts = 2160 watts.. Of course, it would never expect to see all that power..
I would also expect that channel C (12 panels) should be maxed out at 3240 watts.. again, I wouldn't expect to actually see that much power... and yet.. take a look at the DC output of the C channel in the screen grab below... 3644 watts divided by 12 panels = 303 watts per panel.. And here's the kicker.. It was 3800 watts just before I was able to get a screen shot of it... and as I type this, its holding at 3400 to 3600 watts and bouncing around.
My child's playset has a stainless steel slide.. see the next picture. I polished it to a bright finish so she can pick up some speed going down.. and it does produce a glare.. Is it possible that could be the cause???
