I have a question revolving around table 690.7 If I am sizing a PV array and I have 15 solar modules in series that create a combined open circuit voltage of 525 Volts DC. (35 volts per panel) I know that my combined voltage cannot exceed 600 volts to be within code compliance. However. I am getting the feeling that this table says that I have to correct the 525 volt output rating to the local environment minimum temperatures which happen to be 4 to -4 degrees F. So does this mean that the correction factor (being 1.18) when applied to 525 Open Circuit Volts which happens to equal 619 volts (525 * 1.18 = 619) causes my system to be a code violation. The classes that I have taken in this area does not specify this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
