An MPP tracker per input, controlled individually or in parallel
One of the major advantages of string inverters can be thoroughly exploited using the TripleLynx inverter.
The TripleLynx inverter range is per default a Multi-MPP-Tracking device (TLX 10k has 2 MPPTs, 12.5 & 15 have 3 MPPTs). This provides the possibility of designing systems with different angles, orientation and/or different amounts of modules per string using just one inverter. The possibility of combining inputs in the TripleLynx in parallel in turn turns the system design approach upside down. Conventionally, if it is required to cover a fixed space with PV, ex. a roof, the number of modules is determined and then it is often discovered that more inverters are needed. However, thanks to the wide voltage range and the option of combining inputs, every amount of modules, even or uneven, within the power range of the TripleLynx inverter is realisable, avoiding losses in efficiency. As an example; four strings of 8A each are available (in total 15kW). Combining two strings to one input would exceed the maximum current spec of the inverter (as 16A>12A).
However, combining three strings together and coupling two inputs would provide the optimum utilisation of the inverter (3x8A = 2x12A). The remaining input is made up of the “fill in” modules to cover the roof and is connected individually to the inverter. This flexibility makes TripleLynx applicable in a myriad of different systems, small or large.
98% efficiency
A characteristic of transformerless string inverters is the high efficiency. With 98% efficiency and 97% European efficiency TripleLynx is on the shortlist of high performance inverters.
3 phase (3x 400 VAC)
Another trait of the central inverters has been adapted to the TripleLynx namely the 3 phased output. The inverter will always deliver a three phased output, regardless whether a string falls away. This means full compliance with grid provider demands. The 3 phased output also results in less cable demand per kW, and ensures no additional phase monitoring equipment is needed.
Holistic approach to flexibility
The wide operating voltage range and the operation mode options are not the only features that make TripleLynx versatile. Every inverter is shipped with 16 different country settings that can be chosen onsite, and 8 languages can be chosen in the display, independent of country setting. The TripleLynx inverter only weighs 35 kg, meaning that the inverters are very easy to handle. Additionally they are shipped in pallets of 12, equalling 180 kW on one pallet.
