Inverter Setup Error was created by Alireza Moradmand
Hello, 
I'm a mechanical engineering student. As a part of my bachelors project I need to model a PV powerplant with a 125kW inverter. But unfortunately SAM is unable to model an inverter with 9 MPPT inputs. I have included the inverter datasheet. How should I model this inverter? Should I model it with 1 MPPT inputs and scale it? 
My selected inverter is Solis-125K-EHV-5G-US-PLUS
Thank you very much

Hi Alireza,

If all of the modules in the array have the same orientation, tracking, and shading, you can model the inverter as a single MPPT input.

It is not possible to model a system with 9 subarrays that each have different orientation, tracking, etc. because SAM is limited to a system with up to four subarrays.

This is an item on our wish list, but we do not have current plans or resources to allow more than four subarrays: github.com/NREL/SAM/issues/1700 .

Best regards,
Paul
