Solar System Voltage Trends
Past- 400VDC- 600VDC
Present- 1000VDC
Future- 1500VDC
System Voltage?:
The maximum DC voltage commonly is a safety
relevant limit for sizing a PV system
Solar modules are connected in series to obtain
higher output voltage. The maximum system
voltage however must not be exceeded.
Why 1500 VDC?
Example of 10MW Power Plant
