How is the voltage to be a problem ?? .. since those in the STC 15 panels in a series give max 500V ... do you mean the open circuit voltage ?? .. but then the max is 600V.

Exactly, and if you convert this voltage Voc to a temperature of -25 C, taking into account the temperature coefficient of the module, with 15 pcs, the string voltage may be above 700 V

As we have already touched on this topic:
1) should the open-circuit voltage play no role here as the inverter always works under load, which means that Vmpp panels are also important here ??
2) If Vdc after take into account temperature coefficient will increase at -25oC by 5V, will the current also increase and thus the panel power ?? ... because if so, then we exceed the maximum allowable current per string ... and this regardless of the number of panels in the string.

TL;DR: Field owners report 0–20 % daily energy loss when Sofar inverters trip on 253 V grid peaks; “set Country Code 12 for Poland and the problem goes away” [Elektroda, 3301, post #18624621] Why it matters: one menu setting often fixes most unexpected shutdowns without replacing hardware.
