Energy

Energy is me asured in Wh (wa tt hou rs), k Wh (kilo watt h ours) or MWh (mega watt h ou rs). The energy is the power c alculated ov er time. IF,for examp le, your inve rter opera tes at a constan t p ower of 4 600 W for ha lf an hour a nd then at a constan t p ower of 2 300 W for another h al f an h our, it ha s fed 3450Wh of ene rgy into the powe r di stribut io n grid within

that hour.

Power

Power is me asure d in W (watt s), kW (kil owatts) or MW (mega watts). Po wer is an instant an eous value . It dis plays the power yo ur inverter is cur rentl y fee ding into the power dis tr ibution g ri d.

Power rat e

Power rate i s the radio of cu rrent power feedi ng int o the power distribu tion g rid an d the maximum p ow er of the inv er ter that ca n fe ed into the p ow er distri bu tion grid .

Power fac to r

Power factor is the ratio of t rue power or w atts t o ap parent powe r or volt amps. They are identic al only when cu rrent and vo ltage are in phase tha n the power f actor is 1. 0. The power in an ac c ircui t is ver y se ldom equal to the direc t product of the volt s an d am peres. In order t o fin d the power of a singl e phase ac circ ui t the product o f vol ts and amperes must be mul ti plied by th e po wer facto r.

Positio n De scription

The inver te r may only be o pe rated wit h a pe rmanent c on nection t o th e public po we r grid. The i nv erter is no t in tended fo r mo bile use. A ny o ther or add it ional use i s no t conside red the int ended use. Th e manufactu rer/sup plier is not li able for dama ge caused by such uni nt ended use .

PV module s Ca pacitiv e Di scharge C ur rents PV modules with la rge capa cities rela ti ve to earth, such as thin -f ilm PV mo dules wi th cells on a metallic substr ate, may only be us ed if their coupling capacit y does not exceed 1uF. D uring feed-in opera tion, a leak age cu rrent flows fro m the cells to earth, the size of which depends on the m anner in w hich the P V mod ul es are i nstalle d (e.g. foil on metal roof) and on the weather (rain, snow) .
