Hoping to get some feedback on the pros and cons of these configurations.
I have 16 panels all on the same roof, no shade issues at all. Initially when the string inverter was installed and configured I noticed via the portal there were two arrays 1-8 and 8-16. The inverter was upgraded to the highest model possible b/c the panels were actually so efficient they exceeded the MFG (Solar Edge) AC output recommendation.
The inverter was replaced with the highest AC output model possible, all is good, except this time around I noticed that it is just a single array of 1-16 panels.
I can understand the benefits of multiple arrays when there might be shade issues, different roof locations, etc. But is there any cons with having all your panels on a single array? The installer this time was different than the original, so I assume they have their preference.
