Step 8 Minimum Number of PV Modules Based on Inverter

8.1 Minimum Number of PV Modules Based on Inverter

Select highest number from Step 7 & 8.

Step 7 -- Minimum MPPT Voltage, Ns min mppt = 6 units

Step 8 -- Minimum Start Voltage, Ns min start = 5 units

The minimum number of PV modules that can be connected in series is 6 units.

Ns Total PV modules in series per string

Ns max Maximum number of PV modules that can be connected in series from Step 5 Maximum Number of PV Modules Based on Inverter 

From Step 5 Maximum Number of PV Modules Based on Inverter, Ns max = 15 units

Ns = 6 ... 15
