Solar Collector Details
Solar cells being used: Decision has not yet been made pending quotes on the E66 ?e3 generation cells. The current fallback is the Sunpower E60 Me1 cells (same as those used on MSXII)
MPPTs: We would prefer Elmar based on the layout of the array panel, however still waiting to hear back from Elmar. The Nomura MPPTs
- Nomura 18-33V - Manual
- Elmar
Array Layout
Aerobody Array Layout (as of July 17th)
Left three sections will be on a detachable panel, split down the middle will be panel separation, rearview camera, brake lights, etc.
Array Configuration
...
Option 1
...
- 12 modules, 2 strings of 6 in series that are parallel to each other
- 12 MPPTs
- More optimized for ease of manufacturing
Option 2
...
- 12 modules, 2 strings of 6 in series that are parallel to each other
- 12 MPPTs

- Gochermann splitting across the panel gap will be a problem, as any difference in angle between the two panels will cause a drop in power

Array Output Calculations (basic calculations to determine number of cells per module depending on number of Nomura MPPTs in series)
