Abstract

The paper considers the influence of the insolation level on the electric power quality indicators and efficiency of a grid-tie inverter operating as part of a grid-connected photovoltaic power plant. Over the course of a year, data were recorded for Moscow on incoming solar radiation and the grid-tie inverter input and output capacity provided by a 1 kW grid-connected photovoltaic power plant. The insolation threshold values for a Solar River 1100 TL inverter are experimentally established, corresponding to both the beginning and end of stable inverter operation, as well as the required phase angle value for the electric energy supplied to the grid.
