10kW Solar System with Two Arrays of 5x405W Panels in Series in the US

Project Details

Mike Bifaro from New York, USA, is working on a solar energy project utilizing the POW-SunSmart 10K. He has set up two arrays, each consisting of five 405w, 44v, 9.3a panels connected in series. Initially, Mike installed two 25-amp DC 500-volt breakers based on his understanding of the manual's recommendation for a 25-amp solar breaker. However, after recalculating the requirements, he questioned whether 25 amps would be sufficient and subsequently purchased two 63-amp breakers to ensure adequate protection for his setup.

Product Features

POW-SunSmart 10K: This hybrid inverter boasts a 110V/220V split phase configuration, alongside an integrated BMS that facilitates seamless communication with PowMr lithium batteries and automatic activation. It is equipped with 2 built-in MPPT solar charge controllers, each boasting 99.9% efficiency and supporting a maximum PV input current of 22A in a single circuit. Additionally, it features Peak Shaving & Valley Filling functionality.
