PV inverter layout specifications and standards

4 FAQs about PV inverter layout specifications and standards

What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?

Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.

What is the nominal power ratio (npr) of a solar inverter?

One measure for this is the nominal power ratio (NPR). It describes the ratio of DC power of the inverter (PDC) to PV array power (PDCGEN). The decision as to whether an inverter should be oversized (PDC > PDCGEN) or undersized (PDC < PDCGEN) can be derived from the distribution of the annual solar irradiation (see Section 2.2).

Which PCU/Inverter should be used in a power plant?

IP-20(Minimum) for indoor. IP-65(Minimum) for outdoor. (a) Three phase PCU/ inverter shall be used with each power plant system (10 kW and/or above) but in case of less than 10 kW single phase inverter can be used. (b) PCU/inverter shall be capable of complete automatic operation including wake-up, synchronization & shutdown.

Should a solar inverter be oversized or undersized?

The decision as to whether an inverter should be oversized (PDC > PDCGEN) or undersized (PDC < PDCGEN) can be derived from the distribution of the annual solar irradiation (see Section 2.2). The open-circuit voltage is highest at low temperatures.
