Grid-Tie systems are designed around the specs of the chosen inverter. If there are no batteries in the system, the DC voltage can be higher for greater efficiency when converting to 120V AC.

The Sunny Boy 2500UL, made by the German company SMA, is UL-listed and INCLUDES a PV junction box and a GFI, which is a code requirement for rooftop installation. Because of the strings of solar panels required to provide a high DC voltage, this is referred to as a "string-tie" inverter. The inverters themselves may also be strung together for greater capacity.

The 2500UL features Maximum Power Point Tracking to optimize panel output. Very straightforward to install: 1/2" knockout for 1-3 strings in, 1/2" knockout for L1,L2,N 230V out to load center. Complete 60 page pdf Owner's and Install manual here (1252k)

The input range for the Sunny Boy 2500UL is between 234 and 550VDC, max. current is 13 Amps, max. DC power is 2710 Watts. The inverter handles overload without shutting down, so the system does not need to be designed with a cushion limiting the size of the array. The maximum recommended array is 3000W, with a cooling fan available if necessary for operating the inverter with a large array and poor ambient air circulation.

This system is designed to use most of the capacity of the inverter. However, the inverter operates at high efficiency at 50% capacity and above so as few as 10 24Volt panels can be used if desired.

With an average of 5 hours full sun, and an 75% overall system efficiency, the system will yield approximately 10.5 kWHr per day, or 315 kWHr per month. This would be peak seasonal output in a peak location (Colorado, California, etc). Output is significantly reduced by shading or poor orientation, not to mention cloudy weather. Extremely cloudy places may only yield 2 average hours of full-sun-equivalent in the winter.
