Multi-MPPT String Inverter for 1000 Vdc System
The Sungrow SSG5.0/7.0/8.0/10RT series offers a compelling solution for commercial and industrial solar installations in Australia. Their high DC input voltage, multiple MPPT inputs, wide input voltage range, and intelligent monitoring features make them a versatile and reliable choice.
With a 10-year warranty, Sungrow assures customers of long-term performance and investment protection.
Key features of the Sungrow SG5.0/7.0/8.0/10RT String Inverter
- High DC input voltage: The ability to handle 1000 VDC input allows for greater flexibility in system design. This translates to fewer inverter units required for larger installations, minimising cable costs and simplifying system layout.
- Multi-MPPT inputs: Each model (SSG5.0, SSG7.0, SSG8.0, SSG10RT) boasts multiple Maximum PowerPoint Tracking (MPPT) inputs. This ensures optimal power production even under uneven sunlight, where panels might be shaded for part of the day. Each MPPT input independently tracks its connected string’s power curve independently, maximising energy harvest.
- Wide input voltage range: The inverter series accommodates a wide range of DC input voltage, ensuring compatibility with various solar panel types and configurations.
- Intelligent monitoring: Built-in monitoring capabilities allow for remote tracking of system performance. This enables early detection of potential issues and facilitates proactive maintenance.
- Export limiting: The inverter series can be configured to limit power export to the grid, comply with local regulations, and avoid potential grid charges for excess solar energy fed back to the utility.
