GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS ` ` � � ������ `� �
The most common residential inverter is the ideal size for an average-
sized family home. This family of single-phase string inverter
complements the typical number of rooftop solar panels,allowing
home-owners to get the most efficient energy harvesting for the
size of the property.This rugged outdoor inverter has been designed f.''
as a completely sealed unit to withstand the harshest environmental
conditions.
Se c
One of the key benefits of the Uno family of single-phase inverters
is the dual input section to process two strings with independent °N°
MPPT especially useful for rooftop installations with two different
orientations(ie East and West).The high speed MPPT offers real-time `
power tracking and improved energy harvesting. •
The transformerless operation gives the highest efficiency of up to
97.0%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to
power installations with reduced string size.
• Each inverter is set on specific grid codes which can be selected in the field
• Single phase output
• Dual input sections with independent MPPT,allows optimal energy harvesting from two sub-arrays oriented
in different directions
• Wide input range
• High speed and precise MPPT algorithm for real time power tracking and improved energy harvesting
• Flat efficiency curves ensure high efficiency at all output levels ensuring consistent and stable performance
across the entire input voltage and output power range
• Outdoor NEMA 4X rated enclosure for unrestricted use under any environmental conditions
• Integrated DC disconnect switch in compliance with international Standards(-5 Version)
• RS-485 communication interface(for connection to laptop or datalogger)
• Compatible with PVI-RADIOMODULE for wireless communication with Aurora PVI-DESKTOP
• Integrated Arc Fault Detection and Interruption(-A Version)
