Grid connected PV system <= 10kW (Residential)

One single phase inverter

  • Typically, a 5kW grid-connected single-phase inverter. with UOC MAX  600V.
  • One or two strings – Isctc < 25A, IAC < 32A.
  • In this design there is no string protection.
  • A PV main switch is necessary. When the inverter is indoors, an additional remote controlled switch at the DC cable entry point is recommended for emergencies services.
