    String Length

    The string length task allows you to define default string lengths for each inverter input/PV module specification combination.

    Once these have been set up, when you come to laying out strings of modules and attaching them to inverters in the upcoming lay out task, SolarFarmer can use these default string lengths as it creates the strings.

    There is some help in this task to help you determine the optimal string length for the inverter input and module specification combination, based on some of the component properties. You can choose to use the suggested string length or use your own.
