Question: 1 . A grid - connected photovoltaic array is required to supply ( 5 0 0 0 mathrm { kWh } /

1. A grid-connected photovoltaic array is required to supply \(5000\mathrm{kWh}/\mathrm{yr}\) to a residential building using a \(75\%\) efficient inverter.
The key characteristics of the proposed photovoltaic module at standard test conditions are:
The maximum allowable voltage on the building roof is 600 V under the coldest temperature. The maximum power point stays below the 480 V that the inverter needs for proper tracking under the coldest temperature. The inverter needs at least 250 V to properly maintain maximum power point tracking under the hottest temperature. The maximum allowable DC input current for the inverter is 21 A . The peak sun hours are 5.32 hours/day.
Design this array to satisfy the requirements. Your design includes the optimal total number of modules and their combination.
