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 -0.23 %/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 | 60.02 | 4 | 18 | 1,080.3 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 60.26 | 4 | 18 | 1,084.6 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 59.78 | 4 | 18 | 1,076.0 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 59.05 | 4 | 18 | 1,063.0 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 57.61 | 4 | 19 | 1,094.7 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 58.45 | 4 | 18 | 1,052.2 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 37.5 V) above the MPPT window (140 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 14.20 / 22.5 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 13.17 / 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 | 9 | 5.22 | 1 | 9 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.52 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 18 | 10.44 | 1 | 18 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 1.04 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 26 | 15.08 | 2 | 13 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 13 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1 | 0.75 |
- DC/AC 0.52 — inverter oversized
