2.1 Fundamental elements of a photovoltaic system: "STRINGS" and

"ARRAYS"

In order to significantly reduce the costs of installing the photovoltaic system, costs
linked especially to the wiring problem of the inverter DC side, and to the
subsequent distribution on the AC side, the STRING technology was developed.
A photovoltaic panel is composed of many photovoltaic cells which are fixed onto
the same supporting base. A STRING is composed of a certain number of panels,
connected in series. An ARRAY is composed of one or more strings connected in
parallel.
Photovoltaic systems of a certain size can be composed of more than one array,
connected to one or more AURORA inverters.
By maximizing the number of panels inserted into each string, it is possible to
reduce the cost and complexity of the plant connection system.
