Circuit Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates the power flow from DC inputs (PV strings 1-9) through DC surge protection (SPD), DC switch, MPPT units, DC link, and into the inverter circuit. The AC output is then filtered by AC EMI filters, protected by AC SPD, and connected to the grid via AC relays and L1, L2, L3, N, PE connections.
Efficiency Curve Description: The graph shows inverter efficiency on the Y-axis against normalized output power on the X-axis. It typically displays high efficiency (e.g., above 98%) across a broad range of output power, with multiple lines representing efficiency at different DC input voltages (e.g., 550V, 585V, 850V).
