The inverter is the core equipment in the photovoltaic system. Its main function is to convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). In order to ensure its performance, safety and compatibility with the grid or load, a comprehensive functional test must be carried out before leaving the factory or installation.
1. Electrical performance test
2. Protection function test
3. Communication and remote function test
4. Grid connection and power quality test
5. Environmental and reliability test (partial factory test)
6. Human-computer interaction function test
1. Electrical performance test
1. DC input parameter test
Maximum input voltage, minimum starting voltage
MPPT (maximum power point tracking) voltage range
Maximum input current
MPPT tracking quantity and efficiency test
2. AC output parameter test
Output voltage (e.g. 220V/380V)
Output frequency (50Hz/60Hz)
Maximum output power
Grid connection capability test (three-phase/single-phase)
Power factor adjustment range (e.g. 0.8 lagging to 0.8 leading)
3. Conversion efficiency test
Maximum efficiency (e.g. 98.5%)
European efficiency or CEC efficiency
Efficiency curves under different loads
2. Protection function test
Ensure that the inverter can respond correctly under abnormal conditions to protect itself and the system safety.
Protection type Detection content
DC side protection Reverse connection protection, overvoltage/undervoltage protection, surge protection
AC side protection Overvoltage/undervoltage, overfrequency/underfrequency, overload, short circuit protection
Grounding protection Ground fault detection, PE connection detection
Islanding effect detection When disconnected from the grid, it can stop output within the specified time (to prevent "false island" power supply)
Overtemperature protection Derating or automatic shutdown when temperature rise exceeds the limit
Lightning protection SPD status detection, discharge counter detection
3. Communication and remote function detection
Modern inverters generally have rich communication functions, which are convenient for monitoring and remote operation and maintenance.
RS485, CAN, Wi-Fi, GPRS and other interface detection
Interface connection test with monitoring platform (such as APP/PC)
Real-time data upload capability
Alarm and event recording function detection
Remote power on/off, power control and other command execution
4. Grid connection and power quality detection
The inverter must comply with the grid access specifications to avoid affecting the grid quality.
Grid-connected harmonic detection (THD ≤ standard requirements)
Voltage rise rate limit (dv/dt)
Current rise rate limit (di/dt)
Grid fluctuation resistance test (voltage sag, grid disturbance)
Reactive power regulation capability, power factor control test
V. Environmental and reliability test (partial factory test)
High and low temperature operation test (-25℃~60℃)
Salt spray corrosion test (for coastal or outdoor installation environment)
Wet heat aging test
Protection level confirmation (such as IP65/IP66)
VI. Human-computer interaction function test
Whether the display screen/LED status indication is normal
Local operation button/menu navigation test
Alarm sound and light prompt test
