Problem with the TH solar project
Guys I have encountered a couple of problems with my solar project. I am not sure just how to correct/fix or make it work yet. Problem: I will have 4-230W PV panels on the roof, I will have the...

Sorry guys,
Thanks for the replies,
I'll attempt answer all the questions in the order they were posted,

I had planned on using series/parallel MC-4 connectors,
but can't find the #8 MC-4 pv type wire yet.
I will try the Calculations at 60 volts not 12v,
to see the results I get.
It will never trip from overload??
Lost me here..

Per info received from MS,
they say to series and then parallel my 230w pv panels,
to NOT hurt their MPPT 60a CC etc.
Are you running 920w thru a MPPT 60a CC?

Sorry, I did not include all the info needed,
my CC is a Morningstar’s MPPT Charge Controller: Tristar 60 Amp
with Remote Temp sensor for above and Trimetric Battery meter:
I prefer not going on the roof, if I can do what I want,
from ground level and to save wear/tear on the rubber roof etc.
From what I understand (very little a this point, me thinks, LoL,
I am attempting to under stand the notes I kept in my note book etc,
and which is not making sense now etc).
By eliminating the combiner box, that means LESS connections
and less wire resistance loss, and less holes in the roof etc.
