Solar peeps out there:

I have a section of roof that will take 9 panels. The 3 at the end are shaded by trees more than the other 6 til the late afternoon.

Should I run them separately as a string of 3 in series and the other 6 in series, then parallel those with branch connectors?

Just do the 9 together and accept the overall loss while those 3 are shaded? Or something that I’m not thinking of?

There are 3 other sections of roof that are more straight forward with 6-9 panels per string. They’ll all meet in a combiner box and run to (2) 6500w Inverter/charge controllers if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help!

That makes a lot of sense. Tell him thank you!

I’m going to run this string as 9 in series, another 9, one 7 and one 6. Hopefully I can combine the 9&6 to one inverter and the 9&7 to the other with no problem.

I’ll probably run them to a 4-2 combiner box for lightning protection, fuses and disconnects.

Looks like watts24/7 has decent combiner boxes. If he has other suggestions please lmk.
