Title: Will the PV6 combiner box work with this
Post by: larrybc1 on November 23, 2011, 02:07:48 AM
I bought some more more panels and want to know if this will work with one MNPV6:

3 strings of 5 panels thru combiner going to one charge controller

2 strings of 5 panels thru the combiner box to another charge controller

Question is can I run out of the combiner box to 2 seperate charge controllers? and how do I do this ? Is there room on the negative bus bar?

The panels are all evergreen 210 watt panels..22.8 VOC, VMP 18.3
thks for the help  Larry

Yes the MNPV6 is designed to be 1 6string combiner or 2 3 string combiners. What Charge controllers are you using? I ask because the MNPV6 has a common negative. There should be plenty of spaces on the negative terminal block for that array.
