4 FAQs about Photovoltaic panel strings and arrays

What is solar PV array?

A schematic representation of series connected PV modules or a PV module string. PV modules array : In order to increase the current in PV system, the PV individual PV modules or PV module strings are connected in parallel. Such series and parallel combination of PV modules is referred as 'solar PV array'.

What is the difference between a solar panel and a string?

A solar panel or PV module is made up of several cells, while multiple solar panels wired in a series or parallel is called a solar array. A string consists of solar panels wired in a series set into one input on a solar string inverter. If you have two or more solar panels wired together, that is a solar / PV array.

What is the difference between a solar array and a string?

To quickly recap, a solar array consists of two or more solar panels wired together, and a string refers to solar panels wired into one inverter input. The good news is you do not have to be an expert in these to avail of solar power.

What is the difference between a solar panel & solar array?

A solar panel or PV module is made up of several cells, and a solar array is made up of several solar panels that have been connected in series or parallel. Solar string inverters have an input for each string, which is made up of solar panels connected in sequence. A photovoltaic or PV array is created when two or more solar panels are connected.
