Both the maximum open circuit voltage (OCV) when at cold extreme and minimum MPP voltage
when at hot extreme can be calculated for a PV module using its specification sheet. PV module
string sizing can then be used to determine how many modules can/should be used in a string.

Output to AC grid connection:
The PVI 10KW / PVI 13KW / PVI 15KW is designed to feed power into a standard 60Hz, 3-phase
208V AC utility service or 208V AC provided within a facility by a step down transformer of not
less than 15kVA. As required by NEC (Canadian Electrical Code), there must be a dedicated 3-
phase circuit breaker for the PV inverter connection.
