4.  System Diagram 

The typical connection diagram for the entire PV system is shown in the 

following figure. 

 

1. 

PV Panel

: Provide DC power to 

 

inverter 

2. 

PV

-Inverter

: Converts DC (Direct Current) power from PV panel(s) to 

AC (Alternating Current) power.  Because the PV-Inverter is 

grid-connected it controls the current amplitude according to the PV 

Panel power supply. The inverter always tries to convert the maximum 

power from your PV panel(s). 

3. 

Connection system

: This “interface” between Utility and PV-Inverter 

may consist of electrical breaker, fuse and connecting terminals.  To 

comply with local safety standards and codes, the connection system 

should be designed and implemented by a qualified technician. 

4. 

Utility:

 Referred to as “grid” in this manual, is the way your electric 

power company provides power to your place.  Please note that the 

PV-Inverter can only connect to low-voltage systems (namely, 

230VAC/50Hz

).
