[RE-wrenches] max PV voltage in Canada

[Rob Harlan]

Jerry,
This might address what you are asking:
Rule # 50-006 of the Canadian Electrical Code increases the voltage rating
of the photovoltaic source circuit by 25% above the STC rated open circuit
voltage.  This would apply to the photovoltaic output circuits as well.
Hope that helps,
Rob
