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 = 1.13 (α -0.2 %/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 (≤ 450) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 60.57 | 4 | 7 | 424.0 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 60.78 | 4 | 7 | 425.5 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 60.35 | 4 | 7 | 422.5 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 59.71 | 4 | 7 | 418.0 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 58.42 | 4 | 7 | 409.0 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 59.17 | 4 | 7 | 414.2 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 37.9 V) above the MPPT window (120 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 15.09 / 22.0 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 14.40 / 22.0 |
| Parallel strings per MPPT | 1 |
| MPPT inputs | 1 |
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 | 8 | 5.12 | 2 | 4 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 4 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1 | 0.51 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 16 | 10.24 | 3 | 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 4 pan. × 1 — inv. 3, MPPT 1 | 0.68 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 24 | 15.36 | 4 | 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 3, MPPT 1; 6 pan. × 1 — inv. 4, MPPT 1 | 0.77 |
- DC/AC 0.51 — inverter oversized
