Plus if I'm running 575 volts or so and a panel burns out I just bypass that panel and run 490 or so volts.
That works too. I would also guess that you don't have to worry about your neighbor's trees shading your solar panels. My neighbor has some 100+ foot pines that will shade the west side of my solar panels in the evening. With a string inverter that would basically shut down the system.
