Installation

minimum_module_count_rule BYD publishes a minimum LVS module count PER INVERTER AND PER APPLICATION (ON Grid / ON Grid + Backup / OFF Grid typical use / OFF Grid inrush power use) rather than a single figure. Examples: Victron Quattro 48/10000/140-100/100 needs >=1 module on-grid, >=5 modules and >=2 towers for on-grid+backup, >=4 modules off-grid typical and >=5 modules / >=2 towers for off-grid inrush (20 kW for 5 s); Deye SUN-12K-SG01LP1-EU needs >=5 modules for backup and >=7 modules / >=2 towers for off-grid inrush.
