6.4 Double MPPT of the CPS Mini Central 

The CPS Mini Central includes dual input section to process two strings with independent MPPT, high speed and 
precise MPPT algorithm for real-time power tracking and energy harvesting, as well as transformerless operation 
for high performance, the max conversion efficiency is up to 98%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter 
suitable to low power operation as well as the high power operation. 
 
As  the  weather  influence  and  the  location  of  two  MPPT  PV  arrays  different,  the  power  of  the  MPPT  A  inputs  is 
different from the power inputs of the MPPT B at the same time, the CPS Mini Central works at a non-symmetrical 
input  state.  But  the  MPPT  algorithm  of  the  inverter  makes  it  tracking  the  maximum  power  point  of  every  MPPT 
channel to improve the energy utilization of the PV arrays.
