Description

Up to 12 DC inputs connect, with an MPP range of 180–960 V, 620 V rated input and 250 V start-up. System voltage is allowed up to 1,100 V, or 1,000 V on the smaller CI 30, and strings for that model are sized to this limit. The module array can be sized with DC/AC oversizing of up to 50 %. Each input has a built-in 20 A gPV fuse, input current is capped at 18 A, and each tracker takes up to 40.5 A on the CI 30 and 39 A on the larger models. Type 2 surge arresters sit on AC and DC, with RCMU type B leakage monitoring. A built-in Smart Communication Board links to monitoring over 2 LAN ports, Wi-Fi and RS485. The IP65 housing weighs 41 kg on the CI 30 and 83 kg on the others.

How to choose

Pick the model by the array, 45, 75 or 90 kWp, and by rated AC current of 43.3 / 72.2 / 86.6 A, which sets a B63/C63 breaker on the CI 30 and B125/C125 on the others. The CI 30 has two trackers and the CI 50 and CI 60 four each, so roofs with several orientations suit the larger models. The newer PIKO CI G2 at 30 and 50 kW takes 40 A per MPPT. Sites from 100 kW go to the PIKO CI 100.
