Connecting PV modules

Possible PV modules

Connectable solar modules

When selecting the PV modules to be connected to PIKO CI series inverters, note the following:

• Only connect PV modules according to IEC 61730 Class A.
• Do not ground the PV cables.
• Use suitable cables with the largest possible cross-section for connecting the PV modules!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use flexible and tin-plated cables with double insulation according to EN50618.

We recommend a cross-section of 6mm². Please observe the specifications of the plug manufacturer and the technical data for the inverter.

• Per MPP tracker:
• Only connect PV modules of the same type to an MPP tracker, i.e.:
• same manufacturer,
• same type,
• same performance,
• same size.

Different module types, sizes and connected loads and also a different number of PV modules can be connected to different MPP trackers.

Make sure that the maximum input current (I_DCmax) per MPPT and the maximum DC current per DC plug (I_Stringmax) are not exceeded in the process.
