Hello! Hopefully this is the right community for this question.
I’ve started small with solar by getting a 100W panel that connects to a battery that I charge daily and use it to charge things like my laptops or other devices.
I want to start adding additional panels and sending that solar power into our home to use throughout.
As I vaguely understand it, I can get a grid-tie microinverter and then plug panels into that? Will this work? Do I need different type of panels? Do all the panels need to match in specs/watts? It has XLPE (I think?) cables and bullet output.
How are yall sending solar to your home without getting a full on roof mounted solar system?
Thanks!
It depends if they are linked in series or in row, but yes, typically it is better to have them all with the same open-circut voltage.
I guess most will have an overload protection, but with these cheap ones I would stay on the safe side and not add so many panels that an overload can easily happen.
