That *IS* possible, since i'm not one.


For a given insolation, a PV panel looks more like a current
source than a voltage source.

Depending on how your PV array is wired, it can be generating
1000+ volts,

Not if it's a residential solar system, which is what we are
talking about here and it complies with the NEC. NEC limits the
maximum voltage to 600V. And you claim to be installing these?

I'll clarify this for you, since you seem to be ignoring things, and,
I suspect you're doing so intentionally at this point. The PV array
consists of TWO strings. When tested together, in series, they
generate a little over 1000+ volts, DC, yes, they most certainly do.
The voltage drops by half and doubles the amperage inside the
combiner box on the lines which feed the inverter (parallel)

More gibberish. If they are wired in series and installed that way,
then it's a violation, because 600V is the max permitted voltage
between any two conductors. If you wired them in series as an
experiment, which sounds rather bizarre, then who cares what the voltage is?
And we are talking about real residential solar systems, installed
to code, not a hack job, are we not?
