  • Question on Wiring (2 different panel types)

    Hi Guys. Needing some help. I've got a bit of a weird situation. I've got 4 trina 290 watt panels (details further down) and I fell into an amazing deal on 16 thaisun 250 watt panels just the other day. My plan is to get them up by the end of the year (ground mount) so I can get the tax credit. My original plan was to mount the 4 trinas in the yard at the base of my deck using enphase 500 watt micro inverters. But now I have all these other panels. The problem is that the only other place to mount the rest of the panels is decently farther out in my yard (~250 feet) and fitting the trinas in with the other panels isn't ideal. And since my output increased x5 overnight, I'm wondering how I should wire this to make it efficient and most cost effective. If I could get away with using one large inverter as opposed to one large inverter and two microinverters, that would be nice on my pocketbook. What advice would you guys offer?

    Here's the info on the 2 types of panels I have:
    x4 Trina 290 w, Vmp 36.4 v, Imp 7.97 A, Voc 44.9 v
    x16 Thaisun 250 w, Vmp 30.76 v, Imp 8.13 A, Voc 37.75 v

    Joyous can just use a single solaredge inverter like the SE5000H

      But do I end up wiring all the panels in series? I'm not sure what to do.
