<p class=MsoNormal>Does the following series string wiring cause a problem?
With (18) Evergreen ES-A 205’s (low voltage modules 18.4Vmp) in
series feeding a grid tie inverter with a long series connector in the middle of
the string. (2) Top Of Pole 9 module mounts with the series connection
from module #8 on the first pole to module #9 on the second pole. This MC cable
connection would be, about, 36 feet in length to go 10’ down the pole below
grade 18” for 13’ and back up the second pole 10’ (in conduit
all the way) .<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Will this extra long series wire cause problems?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I could use other modules of course but that would raise the
cost per watt by 70 cents.<o:p></o:p></p>
