[QUOTE="Drewby80, post: 524012, member: 34743"] Yes I have some shading issues the sun sweeps over the array from 9:30am. The whole array isn’t in full sun till 11:00am so I want the panels to come online as this happens. The inverter is a SolaX X3 10kW unit: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.solaxpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/X3-Mic-4-10kW-Data-Sheet-V3.pdf[/URL] It’s max voltage is 1000v It’s operating voltage range is 160v - 900v It’s MPPT voltage range is 470v - 800v I don’t really want to have to split the string and use both inputs as I plan to fit another 2kw of panels that face in a different direction later and use the second tracker for that. Also the array should hit the startup voltage in fairly low light conditions with all the panels on one string so that should really maximise my yield. The tails run is only about 4 meters from the panels to the inverter, will this inverter handle all of these panels on just 1 string and on 4mm cables? [/QUOTE]
