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 = 1.17 (α -0.25 %/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 (≤ 1,000) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 42.71 | 8 | 23 | 982.3 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 42.89 | 8 | 23 | 986.6 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 42.53 | 8 | 23 | 978.1 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 41.98 | 8 | 23 | 965.4 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 40.87 | 8 | 24 | 981.0 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 41.52 | 8 | 24 | 996.4 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 26.1 V) above the MPPT window (200 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 15.88 / 31.5 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 15.03 / 21.0 |
| Parallel strings per MPPT | 1 |
| MPPT inputs | 4 |
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 | 0.42 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 22 | 10.12 | 1 | 22 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.84 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 33 | 15.18 | 2 | 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 3 | 0.63 |
- DC/AC 0.42 — inverter oversized
