Hello Wrenches,<br><br>
Using the Sunny Design tool, I got a message saying the design was
conditionally compatible. The message said:<br><br>
<font color="#0000FF">"In case of increased grid voltage, the
operating point of the PV generator may slightly deviate from its MPP if
the module temperature is high. This design can therefore only be
recommended if the expected average grid voltage at the inverter will not
exceed the value used in the calculation."<br><br>
</font>The SMA tech rep I talked to thought the design was good, but
couldn't really answer the questions I had. These are:
<ul>
<li>What is the design AC voltage?
<ul>
<li>Is it 240 VAC or the maximum voltage the inverter allows, which is
264 VAC?
<li>There is no input for design AC voltage.
</ul>
<li>Why does the max AC voltage affect the MPP at high temperature?
<ul>
<li>Since it apparently does, how much does it affect it?
</ul>
<li>If the grid voltage got to 250 VAC, would that be a problem?
<ul>
<li>I see that range pretty regularly around here.
</ul>
</ul>Any help with these questions would be appreciated. <br><br>
Thank you, <br><br>
