6.8.2 Separate and parallel connected DC inputs
The inverter can be used with separately or parallel connected
DC inputs.

In this case the module strings for DC 1 are connected sepa-
rately from those for DC 2. MPP tracker 1 controls the module
strings on DC 1 and MPP tracker 2 controls the module strings
on DC 2.
This way, symmetrically and asymmetrically configured DC inputs
can be implemented.
This variant of the DC cabling
cannot
be used for solar modules
that are grounded.
