Compatibility and Capacity

Darfon MIG300 micro inverters are electrically compatible with PV modules that have a voltage range of 
24V to 40V and a maximum wattage of 300W. Please refer to the ‘Compatible PV Module Calculator’ on 
Darfon website at www.darfonsolar.com to verify the PV module is electrically compatible.

Before ordering the PV module, make sure the connector type is compatible with the micro inverter.

    WARNING

    DO NOT exceed the maximum number of micro inverters in an AC branch 
    circuit as listed above.

    CAUTION

    Each AC branch circuit must be protected by a dedicated circuit breaker of 30A 
    or less if using 10 AWG trunk cable, or 20A or less if using 12 AWG trunk cable.

AC Trunk Cable

There are different types and options for AC 
trunk cables. Depending on the orientation of the 
installation, the AC trunk cable can be in portrait 
or landscape format. Trunk cables can also consist 
of three pins (three wires) or four pins (four wires). 
Darfon uses the four-pin AC trunk cable.
