String by climatic region
T_min per ДСТУ-Н Б В.1.1-27:2010, табл. 1; open-circuit voltage at T_min: K_U = 1 + α·(T_min − 25)/100 = 1.15 (α -0.22 %/K, T_min -42 °C; Annex B).
| Region | T_min | Panel U_oc at T_min, V | Min per string | Max per string | String U_oc at max, V (≤ 1,100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 46.93 | 6 | 23 | 1,079.4 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 47.11 | 6 | 23 | 1,083.6 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 46.75 | 6 | 23 | 1,075.3 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 46.21 | 6 | 23 | 1,062.8 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 45.12 | 6 | 24 | 1,083.0 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 45.76 | 6 | 24 | 1,098.2 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 29.5 V) above the MPPT window (160 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 14.25 / 20.0 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 13.29 / 16.0 |
| Parallel strings per MPPT | 1 |
| MPPT inputs | 2 |
No cautions about the currents.
Example plants
The Solispec engine laid out the strings for plants of several sizes with this inverter at the lowest T_min; only those that pass the checks with every panel placed are shown.
| Plant | Panels | kW DC | Inverters | Strings | DC/AC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ≈ 5 kW | 11 | 5.06 | 1 | 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.51 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 22 | 10.12 | 1 | 22 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 1.01 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 33 | 15.18 | 2 | 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1 | 0.76 |
- DC/AC 0.51 — inverter oversized
- U_OC MAX 1 036 В > 1000 В — звірте максимальну напругу системи панелей і апаратів (паспорт, 712.512.1.1)
