690.53 says that we must label the system at the DC disco with MP and max values of current and voltage. For some systems (REFUsol, for example) the only DC disco is at the inverter, and the system is bipolar. That raises some interesting questions as to how these numbers should be reported.
For example, the maximum voltage between the DC+ for the upper array and the DC- of the lower array is twice the temperature corrected string Voc, but I am afraid if I put a label on the inverter that says that the maximum DC system voltage is 932VDC, the inspector is going to freak out.
