Grid-tied Inverter Sungrow 40kW | SG40CX
Officially distributed by XBSolar Joint Stock Company, the String Inverter series features 4 independent MPPTs with a maximum efficiency of up to 98.6%. It is compatible with various types of solar panels (mono, poly, dual-glass, and thin-film technology). Offering a range of superior features, it ensures users a comfortable experience with communication and monitoring options, facilitating easy operation and maintenance via the Web platform or Isolarcloud application.
- The solid one-piece aluminum alloy housing design with a lightweight of only 58 kg ensures easy installation. All Sungrow solar inverters are designed with separate boards, facilitating easy replacement and repair over the operational lifespan.
- The integrated software allows users to monitor intelligent current across each string, perform online IV curve scans and diagnoses on current-voltage curves and voltages. Based on advanced system and diagnostics, it accurately locates abnormal PV positions. Remote data upgrading facilitates convenient O&M operations.
- The integrated Recovery PID function addresses the effects of Potential-Induced Degradation (PID) on the system. PID is a complex process with multiple influencing factors. It leads to a decline in performance not only of individual PV panels but also of entire strings containing affected panels. The system’s power output can decrease by up to 90% over time due to PID. The Recovery PID feature is designed to rectify degraded PV panels, potentially increasing system productivity by up to 10%.
- Sungrow 40kW grid-tied inverter is designed to be compatible with both copper and aluminum AC cables, offering flexibility in design and optimizing installation costs. It can connect two DC cables into one, replacing the traditional method of connecting DC cables separately, thus saving on DC electrical cable costs.
- With an IP66 protection rating for the inverter and IP68 for the cooling fan, along with corrosion protection rating of C5, the Sungrow 40kW grid-tied inverter is capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions. It is well-suited for various installation scenarios and harsh environments such as coastal areas in Vietnam.
- Sungrow 40kW grid-tied inverter features functions such as nighttime reactive power (Q) support, Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability for overcoming low voltage events, High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT) capability for handling high voltage events, active power and reactive power control, and ramp rate control for power increase.
Grid safety:
Sungrow 40kW grid-tied inverter integrates protection features including reverse polarity protection for DC, short circuit protection for AC, ground fault protection, along with surge protection rated at Level II for both DC and AC. It complies with safety grid regulations and adheres to all relevant standards such as IEC 62109, IEC 61727, IEC 62116, IEC 60068, IEC 61683, VDE-AR-N 4110:2018, VDE-AR-N 4120:2018, IEC 61000-6-3, EN 50549, AS/NZS 4777.2:2015, CEI 0-21, VDE 0126-1-1/A1 VFR 2014, UTE C15-712-1:2013, and DEWA.
