PV CONNECTION Before proceeding with the connections it is advisable to pay attention to the following technical requirements: • It is important to connect on the same string only modules with the same electrical characteristics (same panel model) and the same orientation and exposure to the sun.
Page 22
NOTICE Make sure the string voltage is higher than the inverter start voltage or the system may not turn on or have poor efficiency: Voc_Tmax (Open circuit voltage at maximum temperature) > Vstart (starting voltage) Vmp_Tmax (Voltage at Pmax at maximum temperature) > Vmin_mppt (minimum MPPT voltage) For inverters of the PSI-X1Pxxxx-TLM series, if the electrical parameters require it, it is possible to make the following string connections on the two MPPTs: 1. In the case of a string with a current greater than 14A, assume the use of Y connectors as in the figure.

Meter Connection The meter is a device that allows you to analyze the energy flow of the system to manage it in the most appropriate way; the meter compatible with single-phase inverters of the PSI-X1P(TP-TPM-HY) series and for currents up to 80 A is the direct insertion PSI-X- 1PMETER-ZI. The installation of the PSI-X-1PMETER-ZI meter therefore allows you to: • Monitor self-consumption during daytime hours on the inverter display or on the monitoring portal. • Read consumption on the meter display in real time. • Set the power “Export Limit” function which, if enabled, allows the system to block the feeding of excess energy produced into the grid; if, however, the "Export Limit" function is disabled (Default value), the energy not self-consumed by the users will be fed into the grid.

Parallel connection of multiple PSI-X1P-TLM series inverters This chapter describes the parallel connection of multiple inverters of the PSI-X1P-TLM series, respectively with a power of 3 kW, 4.2 kW, 5 kW and 6 kW, through the use of an energy management meter. PLEASE NOTE Parallel connection, through the use of a network meter in the system, is allowed up to a maximum of 5 inverters.
Page 34
8.1. Electrical connections, communication and display settings With the parallel connection mode, one inverter will be set as Master and will control the management and energy supply of all the other connected inverters, which will become Slave inverters. In this system it is necessary to connect only one Meter which will communicate only with the Master inverter, while the slave inverters will be connected in cascade to the Master via communication cables (see diagram below).
