Copper shortage keeps green energy, tech ventures grounded

Re: Mode of failure

In utility scale solar farms they run the cells in strings to get high voltage output. Some as high as 1.5kV though normally less. This saves copper/losses and reduces the number of electronic units needed to export the power. They wouldn't be doing this if it caused severe reliability issues.
