Hello,
I think I am posting in the wrong group but would appreciate if anyone can share their knowledge regarding solar panels and cabling.
I am looking to install 6 solar panels connected in parallel ideally on my outhouse flat roof with the below spec and the distance Between the panels and the controller would be approx 10meters.
1. Maximum power ( P max) = 300Wp
2. Open circuit voltage (Voc) = 40.11V
3. Short circuit current ( Isc) = 9.61A
4. Max power Voltage ( Vmp) = 32.54V
5. Max system Voltage ( Imp) = 9.22A
Online calculators suggest 35mm cable, is this correct or would a 6mm cable would be enough ?
Please suggest if connecting 3 panels in series and 3 in parallel would be a good idea to reduce cable sizing
Thanks in advance
Regards
Harsh
