Introduction on technical guidelines for utilities integrating PV

The minimum number of modules in a string is determined by dividing the effective minimum operating voltage of the MPPT of the inverter (that is allowing safety margin) by the effective

Grid-tie inverter

OverviewOperationPayment for injected powerTypesDatasheetsExternal links

Grid-tie inverters convert DC electrical power into AC power suitable for injecting into the electric utility company grid. The grid tie inverter (GTI) must match the phase of the grid and maintain the output voltage slightly higher than the grid voltage at any instant. A high-quality modern grid-tie inverter has a fixed unity power factor, which means its output voltage and current are perfectly lined up, and its phase angle is within 1° of the AC power grid. The inverter has an internal com
