Hello. I'm new to solar so I apologize for the newb questions, but I do like everything so far.
I recently purchased 10 RichSolar 100W panels and some smaller inverters that I basically have to tie together for every 2 panels. The panel specs are:
Panel Specifications
I'm looking for a recommendation on how to tie 10 of these together (series/parallel or a combination of the two) as well as a recommendation on a single grid-tied inverter to handle all 10. I'm also not opposed to purchasing a couple more panels if that would be beneficial.
A restriction that I do have is that I'm currently using 10AWG wire throughout and would like to stick with that if at all possible. My current understanding is that this limits me to 30 Amps. I'm also having a difficult time finding an inverter and getting the panels configured in a way that are within the inverter's operating range.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.
