How to Calculate Minimum String SizeHow to Calculate Maximum String SizeMultiple Allowable String SizesThe maximum string size is the maximum number of PV modules that can be connected in series and maintain a maximum PV voltage below the maximum allowed input voltage of the inverter. This is considered a safety concern and is addressed by NEC 690.7(A) Photovoltaic Source and Output Circuits. The 2017 NECallows the following three methods for this c...See more on mayfield.energy
