AC
Abbreviation for "Alternating Current"
DC
Abbreviation for "Direct Current"
Energy
Energy is measured in Wh (watt hours), kWh (kilowatt hours) or MWh (megawatt hours). The
energy is the power calculated over time. For example, your inverter operates at a constant
power of 4600 W for half an hour and then at a constant power of 2300 W for another half an
hour, it has fed 3450Wh of energy into the power distribution grid within that hour.
Power
Power is measured in W (watts), kW (kilowatts) or MW (megawatts). Power is an
instantaneous value. It displays the power your inverter is currently feeding into the power
distribution grid.
Power rate
Power rate is the radio of current power feeding into the power distribution grid and the
maximum power of the inverter that can feed into the power distribution grid.
Power factor
Power factor is the ratio of true power or watts to apparent power or volt amps. They are
identical only when current and voltage are in phase than the power factor is 1.0. The power
in an ac circuit is very seldom equal to the direct product of the volts and amperes. In order to
find the power of a single phase ac circuit the product of volts and amperes must be multiplied
by the power factor.
PV
Abbreviation for photovoltaic.
Wireless communication
The external wireless communication technology is a radio technology that allows the
inverter and other communication products to communicate with each other. The external
wireless communication does not require line of sight between the devices and it is
selective purchasing.

PV modules Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules with
cells onametallic substrate, may only beused iftheir coupling capacity does notexceed
1uF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells toearth, the size of
which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are installed (e.g. foil on metal
roof) and on the weather (rain, snow). This "normal" leakage current may not exceed
50mA due to the fact that the inverter would otherwise automatically disconnect from
the electricity grid as a protectivemeasure.
