Hi tony,

With these high voltage panels,  things can fall apart a bit.  Two panels in series is probably as good as it gets.  BUT,  now at this string voltage,  technically,  you will need the HV Breakers in the combiners,  and these breakers occupy two positions,  so you might need more or larger combiners,  and so on.

Good Luck   and Have Fun,  Vic

Morning Tony,  I think you will need to draw both options out on paper and compare line loss, cost of wiring and combiner boxes etc, on paper before you head out shopping....

you want to avoid the Ready, Fire, Aim syndrome (thanks to Icarus).

BTW don't get too flustered , the learning curve is quite steep at the start.
