To determine the maximum number of solar panels you can use with an inverter, take the inverter's maximum input voltage and divide by your solar panel's Open Circuit Voltage (Voc). The inverter converts the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC), which can then be used to power homes or businesses. A module's voltage will increase in cold temperatures and decrease as it gets hotter. An I-V curve for a typical PV module.
