THESE ARE THE ENPHASE IQ8A MICRO INVERTERS. NOT THE CHEAPER MODELS - THESE ARE THE A MODELS WHICH WILL HANDLE 440 WATT PANELS. NEW. I HAVE 50 OF THEM RIGHT NOW. $199 EACH.
CHECK THOSE CHEAP PER WATT PANELS YOU ARE CONSIDERING AND YOU'LL NOTICE HOW LOW THE VOLTAGE IS. YOU'LL BE TAKING UP A LOT OF SPACE WITH LOW VOLTAGE. YOU'LL NEED 2.5 X THE NUMBER OF PANELS.
While technically possible, installing solar panels with high wattage but low voltage is generally not recommended as it can lead to inefficiencies in your system due to higher current draw, requiring thicker wiring and potentially stressing your charge controller, making it less optimal for maximizing energy production compared to using panels with a higher voltage for their wattage output.
Higher voltage solar panels offer multiple benefits that enhance the efficiency of solar energy systems
