Technical FAQs 4

What if a solar inverter has a high DC/AC ratio?

ing Huawei SUN2000 inverters with high DC/AC ratios When the total Watt-peak (Wp) power of the solar modules exceed the nominal AC power rating of the connected solar inverter, engineers typically ref r to such a setup as an “oversized installation”. In these cases, the so-called “DC-to-AC ratio” is larger than 1, or larger than 10

Can SMA inverters be used with high-current modules?

SMA inverters can easily be used with high-current modules. The absolute limit is the maximum connectable short-circuit current (I SC PV) of the inverter. The maximum input current (I DC max) of the inverter is not an absolute limit in the selection of the PV module. All SMA inverters can exceed I DC max without any problems.

Do PV modules produce DC currents above 1000 W/m2?

When the irradiance exceeds 1000 W/m2, the dc currents produced by PV modules may exceed the Standard Test Conditions (STC) rated values of Imp and Isc. These currents vary directly with sunlight intensity.

When are PV system currents at their maximum?

Although the currents in a PV system vary from zero during the night to a peak at solar noon on clear sunny days, PV system currents in the dc circuits and the ac output circuits of utility interactive inverters are considered to be continuous and at their maximums at all times.
