Layout Options

The PV100S is shipped as two separate assemblies and can be arranged as shown in Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-2.

The PV100S can be arranged in a number of different system layout options to fit specific site requirements. The AC interface/transformer assembly may be co-located adjacent to the left side of (or behind) the Main Inverter Enclosure up to, and not exceeding, 15 feet away.

Given the flexibility to co-locate the AC interface/transformer assembly to fit a desired system layout, the interconnect AC power conductors and conduit between the Main Inverter Enclosure and the AC interface/transformer assembly are to be supplied by the installer. See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2, depicting two options for locating the AC interface/transformer assembly adjacent to the main inverter.
