What are the solar panel's VOC, VMP, and system voltage?

A solar panel's VOC (Voltage Open Circuit) is the maximum voltage it can output when there is no load applied. This value should appear on the manufacturer's specifications sheet but can also be measured with a multimeter. A solar panel's VMP (Voltage Maximum Power) is the voltage at which the panel produces its peak or optimum power level. Generally, this happens when there is a light-source intensity equal to 1000 W/m2, or 1 sun of illumination, and usually has an associated temperature value such as 25°C. The system voltage of a solar panel refers to any other usage application built around that specific panel, such as battery charging systems or electric vehicles. System voltages are dependent upon the individual design requirements for each system and can range anywhere from 3 VDC up to 600 VDC depending on what type of equipment you’re using in conjunction with your panels. In conclusion, understanding the details about your solar panels' performance in terms of VOC, VMP, and system voltage are important things to consider when designing any sort of energy collection device involving photovoltaic cells. Having this knowledge beforehand ensures that you have properly sized components for optimal performance given available resources and goals for each project!

can the nominal voltage of the panels to be used greater than the system voltage in the design?
