Megawatt String Sizing Tool 2.0

Download Ryan Mayfield’s Megawatt String Sizing Tool 2.0 for free!

This is an updated version of the original Megawatt String Sizing Tool

This updated String Sizing tool includes a large re-work of the modules and inverters used in the existing database. There are significant updates in verifying inverter specifications and the interaction of multiple MPPTs in the inverters and the string sizing calculations. We have also identified the top areas for additional improvement, including: expanding the inverter list to include inverters with three MPPTs and dc optimizers.
