Technical FAQs 4

What is the minimum string size of a PV inverter?

The minimum string size, then, is 15 modules. The maximum string size is the maximum number of PV modules that can be connected in series and maintain a voltage below the maximum allowed input voltage of the inverter. The Module Voc_max is calculated using the coldest temperature when the modules produce the highest expected voltage.

How do you calculate a minimum string length for an inverter?

Once you find this voltage, find the minimum start-up or MPPT voltage for the inverter and calculate the minimum string length. (Inverter Min Voltage) / ( V low) = Minimum String Length Ensure that the highest voltage during the lowest temperature is within the inverter’s max and near the upper MPPT range.

How do you calculate a high voltage inverter?

Calculate the high voltage per module: ( ( -19º-25º ) * (-0.0024/C) *43.9V )+ 43.9V = 48.54 V high Once you find this voltage, find the maximum voltage for the inverter and calculate the maximum string length. We round this down. (600 V) / (48.54) = 12.36 = 12 Module Maximum String Length

How do you calculate a low voltage for an inverter?

Calculate the low voltage per module: ( ( 34º-25º ) * (-0.0026/C) *36.7V )+ 36.7V = 35.84 V low Once you find this voltage, find the minimum start-up or MPPT voltage for the inverter and calculate the minimum string length. We round this number up. (125 V) / (35.84) = 3.48 = 4 Module Minimum String Length
