Benefits
Four String Inputs
The two MPPT trackers, with two strings per MPPT, provide flexible PV array design and independent management of two panel groups.
PV Input Power of up to 23.4kW
The maximum supported DC input power allows controlled PV array oversizing relative to the inverter’s rated output.
High Efficiency
The maximum efficiency of 98.6% and MPPT efficiency of over 99% help minimise conversion losses.
Remote Monitoring and Configuration
The available interfaces support system monitoring, remote software updates and remote adjustment of operating parameters, subject to the manufacturer’s requirements.
Recommended Applications
- Large residential three-phase photovoltaic systems
- Commercial installations
- Office buildings
- Manufacturing premises and warehouses
- Rooftop or ground-mounted on-grid photovoltaic systems
- Applications requiring the limitation of energy exported to the grid

Compatibility and Important Information
This is an on-grid inverter. It does not have a battery connection or a dedicated backup output for supplying electrical loads during a grid outage.
Using the Zero Export function requires the appropriate configuration and compatible metering equipment specified by the manufacturer.
The PV strings must be sized according to the panels’ Voc, Vmp, Isc and Imp values, the temperatures at the installation site and the electrical limits of each MPPT tracker.
Installation, configuration and commissioning must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable regulations.
