Here’s an example:If an inverter has a maximum input voltage of 600V and each panel produces 40V, you could connect up to 15 panels in series (15 x 40V = 600V).Going over this voltage limit can harm the inverter or make it shut down, making your solar system less effective or even unusable. [pdf]

Defects in some of the battery cells may also cause heating during operation. This phenomenon is called "hot spot heating". When using the cells, if the heat generated by this effect exceeds a certain limit, the solder joints on the modules will melt and the grid lines will be destroyed. [pdf]

[FAQS about How many panels are needed for photovoltaic cells]
Each PV cell produces anywhere between 0.5V and 0.6V, according to Wikipedia; this is known as Open-Circuit Voltage or V OC for short. To be more accurate, a typical open circuit voltage of a solar cell is 0.58 volts (at 77°F or 25°C). [pdf]
[FAQS about Voltage of photovoltaic panel cells]
Photovoltaic cells are connected electrically in series and/or parallel circuits to produce higher voltages, currents and power levels. Photovoltaic modules consist of PV cell circuits sealed in an environmentally protective laminate, and are the fundamental building blocks of PV systems. [pdf]
