3 Description of the device
3.1 Mode of operation
The device converts the DC voltage generated by the PV-modules into AC voltage and feeds this into the power
grid. The starting procedure begins when there is sufficient sunlight and a specific minimum voltage is present
in the device. The feed-in process begins once the PV generator has passed the insulation test and the grid
parameters are within the requirements imposed by the grid operator for a specific monitoring time. If, as it
gets dark, the voltage drops below the minimum voltage value, feed-in mode ends and the device switches off.
