How are the strings connected?

Panels in a string are connected in series. The calculation distributes identical strings across the station’s modeled inputs; extra strings on one input are parallel. This is not a wiring diagram.

Only identical panels and equal string lengths are modeled. Fuses, cable gauge, grounding and local installation rules need a separate check.
