Voltage check against the microinverter datasheets — confirm the pairing on the manufacturer’s module compatibility list. Rows appear only when the panel’s power is inside the microinverter’s recommended module power range.
SolarEdge and other optimizer-based systems size strings by the optimizer rules — use the manufacturer’s designer. Reference inverters: most named in SoCal permits since Oct 2024.

Questions & answers
How efficient is the Meyer Burger MEYER BURGER GLASS 375?
Calculated from the panel area (1.79 m²): about 20.9% for the 375 W class. 375 W over 1.79 m² equals about 209 W per square meter.
How much energy does one panel produce in Los Angeles or Palmdale?
PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 628 kWh per year per 375 W panel in Los Angeles and about 688 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).
How much power does it lose on a hot roof?
With γ = −0.26 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 13.4% below the STC rating.
How many panels fit on one string?
With the Tesla 1538000-xx-y (max DC 600 V, MPPT from 60 V, datasheet) in Los Angeles the calculator gives 2–12 panels per string (Voc at 2 °C = 47 V, Vmp at 74 °C cell = 32.5 V). Final design must follow the inverter manual and NEC 690.7.
Does it work with Enphase IQ8PLUS-72-2-US microinverters?
Voltage check against the Enphase datasheet: Voc when cold 47 V vs max input 60 V; Vmp when hot 32.5 V vs MPPT low 29 V; recommended module power 235–440 W. Confirm on the microinverter maker’s compatibility list.
Yes, bifaciality 90 ± 5%. Rear gain depends on mounting height and ground reflectance.
Has this panel been reliability-tested?
This exact series is not in published PVEL Top Performer tables; Meyer Burger was named a Top Performer in 1 Scorecard (2024).
