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 (≤ 1,100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 50.87 | 5 | 21 | 1,068.3 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 51.09 | 5 | 21 | 1,072.9 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 50.65 | 5 | 21 | 1,063.7 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 50.00 | 5 | 22 | 1,099.9 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 48.68 | 5 | 22 | 1,071.0 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 49.45 | 5 | 22 | 1,087.9 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 30.9 V) above the MPPT window (140 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 13.93 / 22.5 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 13.38 / 15.0 |
| 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 | 5.34 | 1 | 11 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.53 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 21 | 10.19 | 1 | 21 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 1.02 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 31 | 15.04 | 2 | 8 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 8 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 8 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 7 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 2 | 0.75 |
- DC/AC 0.53 — inverter oversized
- U_OC MAX 1 073 В > 1000 В — звірте максимальну напругу системи панелей і апаратів (паспорт, 712.512.1.1)
