    Small East/West split - Inverter/meter advice

    quoting for an east/west split on a hipped roof (oh joys!) so can only get 5 panels on each roof. After reading some of the previous posts I thought that the Aurora 3.0 would do the trick but the minimum voltage is 156v. Thinking about 250w Yingli (35.1v) so this doesn't leave a lot of leeway...

    Looking to install 10 x 250w East facing and 6 x 250w West facing on one Sunny Boy inverter. Originally was looking at splitting 9 east 7 West but was told that would not work. A bit wary now - should the 10 East, 6 West split work OK? thanks Chris

    Out of interest. effect of East/West split on one string?

    I wouldn't do it but a client asked about an east/west split on one string. I couldn't quite describe how bad the effect would be? Would the 8 on the east side(shaded eg.) drag the current down from the 8 on the west (sun shining on)? Or any other answers? Much appreciated

All advice most welcome as this will be my...

    I have just surveyed a property that has a roof ridge running due north/south, therefore making the panels facing either East, West or a combination of the two. The have opted for a 4KW system and my thinking of spliting the array is to even out the daily production as the sun moves. Rather...
