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 = 1.18 (α -0.275 %/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 (≤ 800) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 44.26 | 8 | 18 | 796.7 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 44.47 | 8 | 17 | 756.0 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 44.06 | 8 | 18 | 793.0 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 43.44 | 8 | 18 | 781.9 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 42.20 | 8 | 18 | 759.5 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 42.92 | 8 | 18 | 772.6 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 26.8 V) above the MPPT window (200 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 14.42 / 17.0 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 13.65 / 13.0 |
| Parallel strings per MPPT | 1 |
| MPPT inputs | 2 |
- Power clippingThe panel's working current (13.65 A) is above the input's working current (13.0 A): on clear days the inverter clips part of the power.
- I_SC MAX above the input currentUnder DSTU HD 60364-7-712 the design current I_SC MAX = 1.25·I_SC of the panel is above the inverter's input current. Check in the inverter's datasheet how its input is rated.
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 | 5.16 | 1 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.52 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 24 | 10.32 | 1 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2 | 1.03 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 35 | 15.05 | 2 | 9 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 9 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 9 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 8 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 2 | 0.75 |
- current 13.7 A > 13 A — the inverter will clip (clipping)
- I_SC MAX = 1.25·I_SC = 18.0 A > 17 A input — check how the inverter datasheet rates the input (712.512.1.2)
- DC/AC 0.52 — inverter oversized
