RPS TL-UL System

The modular architecture of Bonfiglioli products enables selection of the best configuration based on the
characteristics of the photovoltaic plant and the site where the inverter is located.

Master-Slave Multi-MPPT

Longer expected lifetime Increase energy yield

HIGH

Central inverter RPS TL

(1 MPPT) (up to 7 MPPT´s)

Benefits Benefits
• The earliest morning start • The highest energy in presence of:
• The later evening stop - Non-homogeneous light exposure
• High energy conversion efficiency - Different PV modules characteristics
• Longer expected lifetime - Other plant conditions (dirt, cable length, etc.)
• The lowest failure effect • Low failure effect

Advantages of the modular configuration.
