The maximum input voltage is 500 V and the MPPT voltage range is between 50 V and 480 V. The inverters also feature IP65-rated protection and have cooling systems based on natural convection.

“The inverter features high energy density, high input current, low starting voltage, and wide voltage range which make it the ideal match for the market's PV modules. The S-G2 inverter has a wide range of usage settings, making it suitable for a variety of smaller household projects,” said the spokesperson.

The inverters offer 60 V startup voltage, which reportedly ensures longer work times and optimal PV utilization.
