I have a question about RS Smart Solar inverter

Because the RS Smart Solar inverter has four mc4 inputs if they only have one mppt

It is necessary to use two positive and negative, or you can use only one input of negative and positive

If I have a (550 x 7 )solar panel with a current of 17A. How do I connect it?

Hi @Jeremias

The Inverter RS Smart Solar with a single tracker has the two positive and two negative PV inputs connected internally in parallel.

Therefore if you are within all other specifications (and it sounds like you are) then you can just use a single cable string and only one pair of the PV panel inputs, leaving the other pair empty.
