Description

. How it works

The inverter converts the DC voltage generated by the PV modules into AC voltage and leads this into the gridfeed-in. The feed-in process begins when there is suffi cient irradiance and a specic minimum voltage is presentin the inverter. If, as nightfall approaches, the voltage drops below the minimum voltage value, feed-in mode endsand the inverter switches off.
