Nominal short circuit current (Isc) 14.31 A
Nominal maximum power voltage (Vmp) 42.44 V
Nominal maximum power current (Imp) 13.55 A

1.2 Temperature characteristics of the module ( α)


Temperature co-efficient of Voc (β) -0.25 %/ oC
Temperature co-efficient of Isc (α) 0.045 %/ oC
Temperature co-efficient of Pmax (δ) -0.29 %/ oC

Maximum Ambient Temperature (Tmax)

1.5 Calculating Maximum Number of Modules in Series

Voltage correction factor for PV Modules (K) = 1+ ((Tmin-25)*β/100)


Therefore, K = 1.0375

Vocmax for the Module = K*Voc


Vocmax 53.19 V

Maximum number of Modules in Series (Nmax) = Vmax/Vocmax


28
=

1.6 Calculating Minimum Number of Modules in Series


Voltage correction factor for PV Modules (K) = 1+ ((Tmax-25)*δ/100)
Therefore, K 0.928

Vmpmin of the Module = k*Vmp


Vmpmin= 39.3631 V

Minimum number of Modules in Series (Nmin) = Vmin/Vmpmin

13
=

1.7 Module Parameters at Minimum design Temperature


Max Power (Pmax) 600.01 Wp
Nominal open circuit voltage (Voc) 53.19 V
Nominal short circuit current (Isc) 14.21 A
Nominal maximum power voltage (Vmp) 44.29 V

1.8 Module Parameters at Maximum design Temperature


Max Power (Pmax) 533.31 Wp
Nominal open circuit voltage (Voc) 48.07 V
Nominal short circuit current (Isc) 14.47 A
Nominal maximum power voltage (Vmp) 39.36 V

1.9 Selected no. of Modules per String (N) = 28


Vocmax of String for N = 28 1489.39 V
Vmpmin of String for N = 28 1102.17 V
Vmpmax of String for N = 28 1240.01 V

2.0 Conclusion
For 28 modules in series
Voc at minimum cell temperature is less than 1500V
Vmpmax and Vmpmin are within MPPT voltage range of inverter.
The limiting factors are not being violated, hence the number of modules in series is suitable for operatio
