Uneven East West split one inverter

[chrislawson]

Looking to install 10 x 250w East facing and 6 x 250w West facing on one Sunny Boy inverter.
Originally was looking at splitting 9 east 7 West but was told that would not work.
A bit wary now - should the 10 East, 6 West split work OK?

thanks Chris

run it through sunny design and that will show if it works.
I presume you are looking at the 3600TL

Stick it on a Power-one 3.6- Handles uneven strings nicely

2nd thoughts on the arrays supply of panels cannot supply 250s in time but is supplying 260s
Am going for 15 x 260w, 2 strings of 5 on East and 1 string of 5 on West (smaller roof area on West)
Inverter SMA4000L.
This seems to be OK as it is 3 even strings?

Only problem with the SMA 4000tl is you need to set it to g83 so it doesn't pump out more than 16amps

Whats the make of the panels? I'll run it through PVsol for you

Thanks, HJsolar

3 strings of 5 looking fine

Thanks again Somecamel, makes me feel more at ease with that split.

Just make sure you pop the 10 panels into one MPPT and the 5 in the other
