In addition, the datasheet specifies the maximum voltage value of the inverter. Both the maximum voltage value and operating voltage range of an inverter are two main parameters that should be
1) Minimum start-up voltage is 41 VDC. Over-voltage disconnect: 65,5 V. 3) Peak power capacity and duration depends on start temperature of heatsink. Mentioned times are with cold unit. 5) The
Maximum operating current in DC (A): This indicates the maximum operating current on the DC side of the inverter. Maximum input voltage DC (V): This indicates the maximum voltage that can be input on
Calculating the maximally arising DC Voltage (Open Circuit Voltage = Uoc,max) The most established and easiest way to calculate the maximum open circuit voltage is to use the STC value from the
Use the calculator above to estimate DC current and instantly find the most efficient voltage for your inverter and load requirements. Experiment with different power and efficiency values to see how
The maximum DC input voltage is all about the peak voltage the inverter can handle from the connected panels. The value resonates with the
The following specifications reflect Tesla Solar Inverter with Site Controller (Tesla P/N 1538000-45-y). For specifications on Tesla Solar Inverter without Site Controller, see Tesla Solar Inverter and Solar
