E3 E AI._ 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
'
as a completely sealed unit to withstand the harshest environmental �
conditions.
One of the key benefits of the Uno family of single-phase inverters k
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 z
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
low power installations with reduced string size.
Feature "
• 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(-S 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)
