JESSE:

The Power-One specs lists 160V to 530V as the MPPT working range. It's possible to set the per MPPT input as low as 120VDC. Power-One does not provide info for loss of efficiency if the high-temp DC in[put voltage drops below 160V.

Do you have any info on performance degradation between 120V and 160V?

Regards,


Gary Willett, PE

Power One Inverters will easily string that low. We have used quite a few of these with no problem. They are ungrounded on the DC side.

    I think some Solectria inverters have a low number (115vdc). The
    Solectrias I have worked with had a max DC voltage of 400vdc though.

    Friends:

    We have a client that wants to divest of 8 Fronius LG-4500 LV
    inverters.  They are experiencing a high number of failures.
      The Fronius have an unusually low DC input window:  150 to 450
    VDC.  This means the stringing will result in a lower voltages
    than typically found and makes it difficult to substitute
    inverters.  Does anyone know of any reliable inverter that will
    work with string voltages in the low 200s?

    Thanks in advance.
