  • Page 7: Electrical Installation

    • There is no limit to the maximum number of series strings that can be combined in parallel. However, when doing so, each string must include overcurrent protection with a maximum rating of 15A. MEMC recommends the use of DC rated fuses or overcurrent protection devices with the appropriate maximum voltage rating.
