Chapter 2 Overview
2.1 Inverter for grid-tied PV systems
CPS SC20KTL-DO/US-480 & SC14KTL-DO inverter is suitable for use
with various commercial rooftop systems and distributed power station
systems. Normally, the system mainly consists of PV modules, DC power
distribution equipments, PV inverter and AC power distribution equipments
(Figure 2-1). The inverter converts the DC from PV modules to AC with the
same frequency and phase as the AC grid. All or part of the AC power is
supplied to local loads, and the surplus power is supplied to the electricity grid.

2.2 Product type description
CPS SC20KTL-DO/US-480 & SC14KTL-DO is a two-MPPT PV inverter
integrated with the DC and AC switches for indoor and outdoor application.
The suffix “US” means that this model of inverter passes the UL certification
and is specialized for the American market.
2.3 Product features
CPS SC20KTL-DO/US-480 & SC14KTL-DO inverter incorporates the
advanced 3-level and MOSFET paralleled with IGBT technology to minimize
the energy loss. Meanwhile, the arc-fault detection (AFD) function is added to
meet the requirements of UL1699B for DC arc.
