The DC input of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter mainly includes the maximum input voltage, starting voltage, rated input voltage, MPPT voltage, and the number of MPPTs.

Among them, the MPPT voltage range determines whether the voltage after the photovoltaic strings are connected in series meets the optimal voltage input range of the inverter. The number of MPPTs and the maximum number of input strings for each MPPT determine the series-parallel design method of photovoltaic modules. The maximum input current determines the maximum string input current value of each MPPT, and is an important determining condition for photovoltaic module selection.

The AC output of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter mainly includes rated output power, maximum output power, maximum output current, rated grid voltage, etc. The output power of the inverter under normal working conditions cannot exceed the rated power. When sunshine resources are abundant, the inverter's output can work within the maximum output power for a short period of time.

In addition, the power factor of the inverter is the ratio of the output power to the apparent power. The closer this value is to 1, the higher the efficiency of the inverter.

The protection functions of photovoltaic grid-connected inverters mainly include DC reverse polarity protection, AC short circuit protection, anti-islanding protection, surge protection, AC and DC over-voltage and under-voltage protection, leakage current protection, etc.

1. DC reverse connection protection: prevent AC short circuit when the positive input terminal and negative input terminal of the inverter are reversely connected.

2. AC short-circuit protection: Prevent the AC output side of the inverter from short-circuiting. At the same time, when a short-circuit occurs in the power grid, the inverter protects itself.

3. Anti-islanding protection: When the power grid loses power and loses voltage, the inverter stops working due to the loss of voltage.

4. Surge protection: Protects the inverter from transient overvoltage.
