FAQs 6

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 many strings can be connected to a solar inverter?

This inverter has 2 MPPT trackers, so a total of 2 strings can be connected to the inverter. We know that there can only be 13 modules maximum installed. We can have one MPPT with 6 modules in a string and the other at 7 modules in a string. Check out UpTop Solar String Sizing Tool that does this for you!

How do you calculate a string size for an inverter?

Calculate the Maximum String Size Take your inverter’s maximum DC input voltage. Divide it by your adjusted Voc. This gives you the maximum number of panels you can have in a string. For instance, if your inverter’s max input is 1000V: You can’t have a part of a panel, so round down to the nearest whole panel.

How many panels can an inverter have in a string?

Take your inverter’s maximum DC input voltage. Divide it by your adjusted Voc. This gives you the maximum number of panels you can have in a string. For instance, if your inverter’s max input is 1000V: You can’t have a part of a panel, so round down to the nearest whole panel. In this case, you could have up to 22 panels in a string. 4.

How to size a solar power inverter?

During the inverter sizing you need to take into account the different configuration limits, which should be considered when sizing the solar power inverter (Data from the inverter and solar panel data sheets). During the sizing, the temperature coefficient is an important factor.

How do you calculate a PV inverter voltage?

Every PV inverter has an operating voltage range, which typically includes a minimum and maximum voltage. Calculate the string voltage by multiplying the panel's Voc by the number of panels you plan to connect in series. Ensure that the maximum voltage of the string stays within the inverter’s maximum voltage input range.
