Inverter

What it is

The inverter section describes one inverter: its AC and DC ratings, its voltage window, its power threshold and night consumption, its efficiency curves, its DC current limit and how its AC rating falls with ambient temperature. It can be given inline, by the id of an uploaded OND file, or by the id of a library inverter.

Typical values and how to get it

Upload the manufacturer's OND file when you have it. Library entries are converted from the CEC database and carry one efficiency curve and no temperature schedule.
