What it covers
Each array is four panels, wired two in series with two strings in parallel. Each array stays under its controller’s 100 V limit and 440 W rating at 12 V. The Xantrex inverter is sized for light loads. Larger loads, such as a power tool or an air conditioner, need a bigger inverter. This list does not include one.
Not in this list
Cable, mounts, and the fuses that go in the fuse blocks are not included. Choose them for your wiring.
