Question about solar combiner box.
I’m designing a small solar system for the RV roof. I have room for 3 100 watt panels which I have already ordered from Northern Arizona Wind and Sun. I know this company from when I lived in Arizona and have confidence they stock quality materials at reasonable prices. The panels are 52x20 so they can be shipped UPS.
I can’t wire 3 panels in parallel and I want the panels to be shade tolerant. I’m considering wiring them individually to a combiner box on the roof. I can’t find information about this wiring setup. I assume it would be the same as using a combiner box for more than one string. Each panel would be its own string. So has anyone wired their panels like this? Does it make sense to keep them as separate “strings”?
