System Design

3.1 Guidance

Incorrect system design could cause
damage to the inverter.
Non-optimal design will lower the
efficiency of the system and waste
inverter power capacity.
A guide matrix is provided below for
each inverter model when using the
Grant GPV180M Solar PV modules.

CAUTION:

On no account must
these values be
exceeded.
