Answer: 3.825
• A grid-connected PV array consisting of sixteen 150W modules can be arranged in
a number of series and parallel combinations. The array delivers power to a 2500-
W inverter. The key characteristics of modules and inverter are given in the Table.
• The low design temperature is −20ºC and the Voc temperature correction
factor for your PV is −0.34%/ºC. The characteristics of your module are Isc
= 8A, Voc = 37V and Vmp = 29V. How many modules can you put in series
for an inverter that cannot go over 500V?
• Answer: 11
• If Voc = 22V, Vmp = 18V, hot PV cell temp = 50°C, inverter operating voltage
range = 250V to 600V, temp coefficient of voltage = −0.38%/°C. What is the
least amount of modules that should be connected in series?
