    The document calculates the minimum and maximum number of solar modules that can be connected in series for a photovoltaic system based on the inverter specifications and temperature coefficients. It determines a minimum voltage of 29.38V requiring a minimum of 4 modules in series. For the maximum, it calculates a voltage of 55.03V, allowing up to 11 modules in series when considering the 600V maximum input of the inverter.

    Vmp: 42.

    00 V
    THigh: 45° C
    Trise 32° C
    TStc 20° C
    Coef: -0.36° C
    Vmin = (Vmp + ((THigh + TRise - TStc) x (VmpCoef x Vmp/100)))

    Vmin= 33.38 V

    Next we should factor in system loses (de-rate factor).  We forgo this calculation for the purp

    de rate factor: 0.88

    Vmin= 29.38

    We can now take our result from the above calculations to determine the bare minimum number of

    The minimum number of modules in series can be a low as 4
    Now we can calculate the maximum number of modules that we can have in our system by d

    Vmax = Voc + ((TLow - TStc) x (VocCoef x Voc/100))

    Voc 50.8
    Tlow 12° C
    TStc 20° C
    VocCoef 0.26

    Vmax= 55.03

    Now, divide our result by the maximum DC system voltage of the chosen inverter and round

    Max. DC (From inverter datasheet):- 600

    The maximum number of modules in series can be as much as


    rgo this calculation for the purpose of simplifying this exercise and assume our derate factor to be 12% or 0.88

    ne the bare minimum number of modules we can expect to have in our system by dividing our DC start (strike) voltage

    we can have in our system by doing a very similar type of calculation.
