If true then strings of 6 would exceed 300vdc. If using a FM100 the fall back is strings of 4. Strings of 6 into a 600 volt charge controller is only marginally superior for voltage drop over strings of 4. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Using the nameplate wattage you are just over 100 amps at 48VDC satisfying the power criteria. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">An added benefit is that all of the electronics will communicate. <br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Recent pricing of the 100 seems to indicate the price has dropped significantly making this a good value. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It is possible you could combine at the battery location and pull multiple smaller conductors. You’d still need a disconnecting means at the array. Run the numbers. </div><div dir="auto"><br><div dir="auto"><a
