String Voltage Calculator

Calculate string voltage with temperature coefficients for proper inverter sizing.

From panel datasheet at STC (25C)
Operating voltage at maximum power point
Typically -0.25 to -0.35%
Coldest expected ambient
Hottest expected cell temp
Enter to check string compatibility
Maximum input voltage rating

Voltage Calculation Formula

Voc(T) = Voc(STC) x [1 + Coeff x (T - 25)]
String Voc = Voc(T) x Panels in Series

Voltage increases in cold weather and decreases in hot weather. Always check cold weather Voc against inverter maximum input voltage.
