What is a CPS grid-tied PV inverter?

CHINT POWER SYSTEMS AMERICA CO., LTD. Thank you for choosing a CPS Grid-tied PV Inverter (hereinafter referred to as “PV Inverter”) developed by CHINT POWER SYSTEMS AMERICA CO., LTD (hereinafter referred to as "CPS"). This PV Inverter is a high performance and highly reliable product specially designed for the North American Solar market.

How does a PV inverter work?

It will check constantly whether AC power grid meets the conditions for grid-tied power generation, and test whether the PV array has adequate energy. After all conditions are met, the inverter will enter Normal Operation mode and export power to the grid.

How do PV modules convert DC energy to AC power?

converts the available DC energy from the PV modules to AC power by synchronizing the output current to the same frequency and phase as the AC part of the AC power is supplied to local loads, and the surplus power exported to the electric utility grid.

How do I turn off a PV inverter?

Move the cursor to “OFF” and press ENT, and then the inverter will be shut down. The inverter will start up automatically when the output voltage and power of PV arrays meet the set value, AC power grid is normal, and the ambient temperature is within allowable operating range.

What happens if a PV inverter fails?

The inverter will be shut down automatically if the PV power generation system fails, such as output short circuit, grid overvoltage/under voltage, grid over frequency/under frequency, high environmental temperature or internal malfunction of the machine. The fault information will be displayed on the APP interface.

Can a PV inverter be used with a 1000 volt Solar System?

Use only with PV modules that have a maximum system voltage of rating of 1000VDC or higher. Electric shock Hazard. The DC conductors of this photovoltaic system are normally ungrounded but will become intermittently grounded without indication when the inverter performs the PV array isolation measurement. Shock Hazard.
