9.5 - Thermal, Voltage, and Efficiency Charts

This section contains charts that depict thermal de-rating, voltage vs. power, and 3D

efficiency characteristics of the SolarCity H6 inverter.

9.5.1 - Thermal De-rating

The SolarCity H6 inverter can be operated in ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to

60°C (-4°F to 140°F); however, power de-rating occurs above 45°C (113°F).

Figure 9-1

illustrates how increasing the temperature of the inverter and/or PV array reduces power

output.

Figure 9-1: Temperature de-rating graph

Note: Temperature sensor tolerances and varying efficiencies under

different PV voltage mean that Figure 9-1 may not precisely represent the

actual behavior of the SolarCity H6 inverter under all foreseeable

conditions.
