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 (≤ 500) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 61.50 | 4 | 8 | 492.0 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 61.76 | 4 | 8 | 494.1 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 61.23 | 4 | 8 | 489.9 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 60.44 | 4 | 8 | 483.5 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 58.85 | 4 | 8 | 470.8 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 59.78 | 4 | 8 | 478.2 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 38.2 V) above the MPPT window (150 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 10.68 / 27.0 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 10.05 / 18.0 |
| 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 | 12 | 5.40 | 1 | 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2 | 1.08 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 23 | 10.35 | 2 | 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 5 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 2 | 1.03 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 34 | 15.30 | 3 | 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 2; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 3, MPPT 1; 4 pan. × 1 — inv. 3, MPPT 2 | 1.02 |
