Simple Panel-->Inverter match question

[keaton85]

Simple question for most of you.

I have 12X Evergreen 200w panels with these specs:

• Imp 11.05A
• Vmp 18.1V
• Isc 11.8A
• Voc 22.6V

Attached to a 2000W Chinese GTI with a current limiter (YES, I understand all of what this is and the issues at hand, it will be located outside, away from the house)

Specs:
45V-90V DC Input with from my research 100A maximum

Build:
2X 5 panel strings comes in at Vmp 90.5Vdc or Voc 113Vdc
3X 4 panel strings comes in at Vmp 72.4Vdc or Voc 90.4Vdc

Thus my issue is going by Voc, I could go with 3X yet its hitting 90.4Vdc with no room for error.

Thoughts? besides the inverter issue!

No matter what, you will be on the hairy edge. 5 panel string is out of the question.
3 panel strings seem to be the only viable option. And you will need a combiner box with 4, 15A DC breakers (I'll guess that 15-17A is close to the Max Series Fuse spec.)

Such a bummer since I didn’t see that these same units come in a 110Vdc max input version.

I could also do 4X 3 panel combo at 67.8v. Brings a bit of efficiency loss and increased cabling size/cost.

I just wanted to use these panels while they were laying around unit I get my real system up on the roof next year.
