We would also need to know your battery float voltage since the string VOC is based on that
In fact the entire systems power and performance is based on the battery specs.
See the tech specs.
Thanks. What happens if you put to much solar ? Do you harm the MPPT ? Or are you just better prepared for winter (low sunhours) ?
It depends on what you mean by too much solar.
Max VOC is usually 8x float voltage of the battery.
And you can have extra strings, but you need to be aware of not making mistakes like reverse polarity with the extra strings.
10 of those PV modules in series would work pretty well. 3.55kW of PV is comfortably below the maximum of 4kW.

10 X 355w panels in series on the multi-RS solar will work pretty well as it has a maximum DC voltage accepting a range of up to 450V with 18Amps. If you cross the 450V range, it will stop working. An overvoltage event can damage the solar charger, depending on how much the maximum PV voltage was exceeded. This damage is not covered by warranty. -from manual
You can make two strings ( a. 10x355w b.10x355w) and connect to your Multi RS Solar.
But always keep in mind that you will get a Maximum DC charging power of 4000 W.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
