Determining String Design for an Inverter

Go to AI and ask:

For a given inverter (provide link or specs) and solar panels (provide link or specs) - design the number of strings and number of PV panels in each string based on the inputs of the inverter.

The procedure, if you want to verify the AI result, is:

• Essentially, take Voc, and compare to max voltage of inverter (typically 500 VDC)
• Correct for low temperature.
• Determine max panels that fit within max voltage
• Use max current of input to determine if you should parallel strings
• For the total number of strings, check max power of PV and make sure it is within the rated power input rating of the inverter.
