PV Module Selection:
When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:
1. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. DC voltage (800VDC).
2. Accumulated voltage of connected PV panels should be close to 560V for inverter with 380V output voltage.

To calculate PV module numbers in series (N) and in parallel (M), please follow below formula:
 Imp>Po/(Kvo x 0.9 x M)
Po represents the rated output power.
Kvo is equal to 560V/585/606V/642V for 380V/400V/415V/440V output voltage respectively.
 Maximum PV module numbers in series (N) > 560 / Vmp

We strongly recommend the total PV Vmp is around 560Vdc to get the optimum MPPT output.

Below are popular solar panel specifications in the market:

A. 75-A: 75W, Vmp=17.46V, Imp=4.3A, Voc=21.96V
B. 75-B: 75W, Vmp=13.3V, Imp=5.64A, Voc=16.94V
C. 140-A: 140W, Vmp=17.9V, Imp=7.82A, Voc=22.0V
