About PV Link
The PV Link is a nonisolated, interleaved DC-DC convert-
er that boosts PV input to a higher voltage and outputs it
to REbus™, Generac's regulated 380 VDC bus. The PV
Link provides droop-mode power management, enabling
multiple optimizers to connect in parallel on a common
bus. Its DC output carries a bidirectional power line com-
munication (PLC) protocol for communicating with inver-
ters and other devices on REbus.
PV Link is intended for use with 60-cell, 72-cell, or 96-cell
residential DC PV modules. PV modules must not require
positive or negative grounding as this would interfere with
010024
PLC communications.
NOTE: Other PV modules may be suitable for use with
PV Link, contact Generac for more information.
The PV Link is sealed in a type 4X enclosure at the fac-
tory and is designed for attachment to standard PV rack-
ing. Safety features include ground fault detection and
interruption (GFDI), arc fault detection, circuit interruption
(AFCI), and rapid shutdown capability.
