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 -0.24 %/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 | 56.76 | 6 | 14 | 794.6 |
| Region II | -42 °C | 57.00 | 6 | 14 | 797.9 |
| Region IIIA | -38 °C | 56.52 | 6 | 14 | 791.3 |
| Region IIIB | -32 °C | 55.82 | 6 | 14 | 781.4 |
| Region IV | -20 °C | 54.40 | 6 | 14 | 761.6 |
| Region V | -27 °C | 55.23 | 6 | 14 | 773.2 |
The minimum per string keeps the string voltage in heat (panel V_mp 35.1 V) above the MPPT window (200 V).
Input currents
| Panel I_sc / MPPT input I_sc, A | 10.83 / 17.0 |
|---|---|
| Panel I_mp / MPPT input I_mp, A | 10.20 / 13.0 |
| 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 | 12 | 5.04 | 1 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1 | 0.63 |
| ≈ 10 kW | 24 | 10.08 | 2 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2 | 0.63 |
| ≈ 15 kW | 36 | 15.12 | 2 | 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 1; 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 1, MPPT 2; 12 pan. × 1 — inv. 2, MPPT 1 | 0.95 |
- DC/AC 0.63 — inverter oversized
