SOLECTRIA RENEWABLES’ PREMIUM 15kW PV INVERTER ENTERS FULL PRODUCTION

May 9, 2007Solectria Renewables introduces a new 15kW AC output, 208, 240 and 480VAC 3-phase comercial 3-phase inverter setting a new standard in the grid-tied PV industry.  With  premium components and advanced design it has a peak efficiency of 95.8% and a CEC efficiency of 94.5% (480VAC) topping efficiencies of all 3-phase inverters in the sub-50kW commercial inverter market by 1-3%.

The highly integrated inverter is ideal for 15-50kW commercial PV systems.  With a compliment of standard features assembled and tested as a system at the factory, installation of the inverter (and Balance of System portion of the grid-tied PV system) is vastly simplified, thus reducing installed system cost.  The premium efficiency and reliability of the unit maximizes energy production and system payback.

The inverter has already been chosen for use in PV systems across the United States by several leading PV system design and installation companies such as Solar Design Associates, Spire Corporation, Solar Works, Inc., Sunlight Solar Energy and Nexgen Energy Solutions.

“I like the all-in-one-box inverter.  Using multiple single-phase inverters costs and wastes too much in design, labor and materials”, said Paul Israel, President of Sunlight Solar Energy.

Other advanced features and options include: True zero Watts night time energy consumption,  heavy duty visible-blade DC disconnect, fused AC disconnect, smart oscillating high efficiency fan control, RS-232 communication interface, PC data logging software.  Optional features include fused DC combiner, positively grounded version, Fat Spaniel web-based monitoring and RS-485 communication interface for multi-inverter sites.  The inverter meets the latest version of UL1741 / IEEE1547.

Solectria Renewables, LLC, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, is a leader in the development and manufacturing of a wide range of inverters for renewable power applications including 1.8kW to 95kW grid tied PV inverters for systems from 1kW to 1MW.  Solectria Renewables has an 18-year background in inverters and other electronic power systems for harsh environments.
