Hi Aristide,
Assuming you are modeling a system with one subarray, the "Subarray 1 Operating DC voltage" and "Inverter MPPT 1 Nominal DC voltage" should be the same, and represent the inverter input voltage. For systems with more than one inverter, this assumes inverters are connected in parallel and operate at the same voltage.
For systems with more than one subarray, SAM calculates the inverter input voltage based on the option you choose under "PV Subarray Voltage Mismatch" at the bottom of the System Design page. By default, SAM averages the subarray voltages to calculate the inverter input voltage, but you can choose the "Calculate maximum power voltage for array and associated losses due to subarray mismatch" to have SAM iteratively determine a voltage that maximizes the array output (see the
Help topic for the System Design page
for a description). In this case, by default, the "Inverter MPPT 1 Nominal DC voltage" should be the average of the "Subarray [x] Operating DC voltage" values.
For systems with a single inverter and up to four MPPT inputs, SAM allows each subarray to operate at its own voltage. In that case the "Inverter MPPT [x] Nominal DC voltage" will be the same as the "Subarray [y] Operating DC voltage" as determined by the MPPT input assignments on the System Design page.
For your last question, the MPPT voltage window defined on the Inverter page determines the minimum and maximum value of "Inverter MPPT [x] Nominal DC voltage." I am not sure I completely understand this question, so more context would be helpful.
Best regards,
Paul.
