This document serves as the User Manual for the KEHUA TECH PV Grid-tied Inverter, specifically the SPI-B-H Series (320K-350K) models. It provides comprehensive information on the inverter's features, installation, operation, maintenance, transportation, and storage.
Function Description
The PV grid-tied inverter converts DC energy from a PV string into AC energy, which is then fed back to the power grid. It is designed for large power station grid-tied systems. A typical PV grid-tied generation system comprises a PV string, the PV grid-tied inverter, a transformer, and a power distribution system. The inverter tracks the maximum power point (MPPT) of the PV string to maximize power output and then converts the DC power to three-phase AC power.
