One aspect of designing a solar PV system that is often confusing, is calculating how many solar panels you can connect in series per string. This is referred to as string size. If you are unfamiliar with the terms “series” and “string”, it could be a good idea to head over to our article Introduction to Electricity for Solar PV Systems .
How to manually calculate PV string size for photovoltaic systems based on module, inverter, and site data. Design code-compliant PV systems and follow design best practices. Read The Article.
Determining Module Inter-Row Spacing. When designing a PV system that is tilted or ground mounted, determining the appropriate spacing between each row can be troublesome or a downright migraine in the making. However, it is essential to do it right the first time to avoid accidental shading from the modules ahead of each row.
The BGE is reduced linearly up to 14% at row spacing of noon on December 21st vs. 9am. (Ex. For a Bi60 and row spacing of 10:30am on December 21st with a SR of 0.7 and height of 0.5m, the BGE would be 7% less than 25.5% or 23.7%). The minimum row spacing should be approximately 1m to increase the sunlight between the rows, especially

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel string spacing]
How to design a solar PV system?
When designing a solar PV system it’s critical to know the minimum and maximum number of PV modules that can be connected in series, referred to as a string. PV modules produce more voltage in low temperatures and less voltage in high temperatures.
What is the minimum string size of a PV inverter?
The minimum string size, then, is 15 modules. The maximum string size is the maximum number of PV modules that can be connected in series and maintain a voltage below the maximum allowed input voltage of the inverter. The Module Voc_max is calculated using the coldest temperature when the modules produce the highest expected voltage.
How many solar panels can be connected in a string?
1. Calculating maximum string size The maximum number of solar panels you can connect in a string is determined by the maximum input voltage of your inverter or charge controller. You can find this value on the inverter datasheet. If the maximum input voltage of your inverter is exceeded on a cold day, the inverter can be damaged.
What is a photovoltaic string?
The set of photovoltaic modules connected in series is what is known as a PV string, and therefore the formation of a photovoltaic string is crucial for the production of solar energy.
How do I determine the size of a solar string?
The size of a solar string, or the number of panels you can have in a series, is determined by the specifications of your solar panels and the inverter you’re using, and the climate conditions where the panels are installed. Here are the steps: 1. Find Your Panel and Inverter Specs Check the spec sheets for your solar panels and inverters.
How do I calculate PV string size & voltage drop?
The easiest and fastest way to calculate PV string size and voltage drop is to use the Mayfield Design Tool. Our web-based calculator has data for hundreds of PV modules, inverters, and locations so you don’t have to look up datasheets nor do manual calculations.
