Solar generation for larger loads
S5-GC36K delivers PV energy to the three-phase supply point of a business, commercial site or larger building. Its 36 kW rating describes instantaneous conversion power; kWh generation depends on irradiation, orientation and array size. The operating system consists of modules, inverter and connected utility grid. Generation serves local loads according to their consumption profile.
Independent MPPTs for module groups
4 independent trackers follow separate string groups. Each accepts two strings, giving 8 overall. Each tracker supports 32 A maximum input current and 40 A short-circuit current. Recommended array power reaches 54000 Wp; MPPT operates at 200–1000 V, start-up begins at 180 V and maximum DC voltage is 1100 V. Design compares actual module currents and cold-weather open-circuit voltage.
Output and efficient conversion
The datasheet specifies 36000 W rated output, 39600 W maximum AC output and 39600 VA maximum apparent power. The 3/N/PE connection uses 220/380 or 230/400 V at 50/60 Hz. Maximum efficiency is 98.7 % and European efficiency 98.3 %. THDi is below 3 %; power factor above 0.99 is adjustable from 0.8 leading to 0.8 lagging for grid requirements. Transformerless construction has night consumption below 1 W.
Metering and self-consumption
The optional three-phase DTSD1352 measures directly up to 80 A or, in its CT version, through matching 150 A/5 A transformers. Meter terminals 21 A and 22 B connect to the inverter’s two-pin connector. Export management supports grid-side or load-side metering. A 24-hour consumption view uses a grid-side meter, enabled 24H Switch and Solis monitoring. Select the actual meter version for the installation.
Output and export management
Internal EPM offers Meter in Load, Meter in Grid and Consumption Monitor. Mode 01 uses average three-phase consumption; mode 02 follows the lowest-loaded phase. The permitted-export menu spans 0–29,900 W. Configurable failsafe can report metering loss and stop generation. External control uses 5G-EPM or Others-EPM according to the device. Commissioning verifies metering direction and system response.
Monitoring and linking inverters
The LCD and LEDs show operation, output, voltages, currents and energy. Daily, monthly and yearly production history and the latest 100 alarms and 100 warnings are available. RS485 supports daisy chaining: A1/B1 input and A2/B2 output, with addresses 01–99 and default 01. An optional Wi-Fi/GPRS logger links a suitably designed system to remote monitoring. Communication wiring, conductor sizes and stripping lengths appear in the technical overview and manual.
Strings and I/V diagnostics
Integrated string monitoring and I/V curve scanning provide insight into individual PV branches. Service scanning sets a 300–1000 V starting voltage and 1–100 V step and uses 60 data points. Multi-peak MPPT scanning supports operating-point tracking. Service menus include fan testing and HMI/DSP updates; the supplied manual contains the complete procedures.
Construction and environment
The 647 × 629 × 252 mm enclosure weighs 42.1 kg. IP66 provides dust-tight construction and protection against powerful water jets; a suitable location supports indoor or outdoor mounting. Intelligent fan cooling accompanies a −25 to +60 °C operating range, 0–100 % humidity and altitude up to 4000 m. Datasheet typical noise is at most 60 dB(A). The mounting site provides airflow and shelter from direct sun and rain.
Mounting and power connections
A firm fire-resistant structure supports vertical mounting or backward tilt up to 15°. The manual shows 500 mm around the enclosure and above floor and 1000 mm in front. Two people or appropriate lifting equipment at the top points handle the unit. MC4 DC connectors use 4–6 mm² conductors. The OT-lug AC terminal block accepts 10–35 mm², with 25 mm² recommended. External earthing uses at least 16 mm² copper and an M6 lug. This model’s recommended AC breaker is 80 A; torques and cable preparation appear in the technical overview.
Protection and available configurations
Standard protection covers DC polarity, short circuit, AC overcurrent, grid monitoring, anti-islanding and temperature. Surge protection is Type II on both DC and AC sides. The datasheet lists AFCI 2.0 and PID recovery as optional configurations. DRM uses RJ45 pins 5 and 6; with the feature enabled under the grid profile, opening the contact limits output to 0 W within five seconds. Active and reactive power, PF Curve and grid profile are configured for the actual connection.
Supply and complete plant design
The standard package contains the inverter, backplate, four cross screws, two hex screws, 8 DC connectors, AC terminal cover, RJ45 connector and manual. The offer includes the DC switch. Modules, meter, logger, protection and mounting components are selected for the plant. Energy in kWh and power in kW are assessed separately; any storage uses a separately designed compatible battery system with an appropriate converter. Batterado helps match related products. Storage conditions are −40 to +70 °C and 0–95 % non-condensing humidity, with up to three packaged units stacked.
