That is helpful.All the same voltage at the same time. I.e. no. of panels, with shading, facing the same direction and angle/tilt.
As is thisGT string inverter MPPTs have a minimum operating voltage. If you have a roof facet which can fit some but not enough panels to generate sufficient voltage for the MPPT, then that roof space is not suitable to be used by a string inverter unless there is another section of roof with the same orientation onto which more panels can be installed.
Any others?
Originally 6 months ago when I started looking at solar I thought microinverters were tha answer for max output. And then I started reading and my circumstances have changed. On my current house I was going to do roof mount with 3 strings, south, east, and west. The east and west would get shading from a few trees.
Now I am moving to Cortez, Co, building a house, and will be doing a ground mount. Looking hard at the fence panel frameless or more traditional panels, but on a motorized mount where I can do automated east/west tracking and manual tilt by season. I think I can build the mounts for less than the cost of the microinverters if I do it myself.
My eta is 1.5 years to start so I have lots of time to figure things out.
