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 = 1.16 (α -0.236 %/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 (≤ 600) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region I | -40 °C | 46.94 | 4 | 12 | 563.3 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 47.14 | 4 | 12 | 565.6 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 46.75 | 4 | 12 | 561.0 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 46.17 | 4 | 12 | 554.1 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 45.02 | 4 | 13 | 585.3 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 45.69 | 4 | 13 | 594.0 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 29.9 V) above the MPPT window (90 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 13.15 / 18.0 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 12.25 / 12.5 |
| 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 | 5.16 | 1 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.86 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 24 | 10.32 | 2 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1 | 0.86 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 35 | 15.05 | 3 | 7 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 7 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 7 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1; 7 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 2; 7 pan. × 1 — inv. 3, MPPT 1 | 0.84 |
- DC/AC 0.50 — inverter oversized
