SolarEdge is introducing a new range of commercial inverters now available for rooftop, ground mount and carport applications in North America. The line includes 120-kW, 100-kW and 80-kW three-phase inverters for a 480V grid, and a 50-kW for a 208V grid, all capable of up to 150% DC oversizing.
The system offers improved uptime through modularity and independently working units. By introducing a pre-commissioning feature, installers can validate system components from their smartphones before connecting to the grid. To avoid module performance degradation, the solution includes a built-in nighttime PID (potential induced degradation) rectifier.
SolarEdge says this new offers an extra layer of protection through built-in thermal sensors on the DC and AC terminal blocks, as well as field-replaceable surge protection devices.
“We are proud to provide our customers with innovative technology that improves the economics of large-scale PV installations through scalable DC optimization,” Says Peter Mathews, General Manager for SolarEdge North America. “Our solution addresses a growing demand in the North American C&I sector for increased energy production, design flexibility, advanced safety and security, and real-time, high-resolution monitoring. It was also designed to improve profitability for installers by helping reduce installation times, BoS (balance of system) costs and O&M expenses.”
We have a ton video interviews and additional content on our YouTube page. Recently we debuted Power Forward! -- a collaboration with BayWa r.e. to discuss higher level industry topics as well as best practices / trends for running a solar business today. Our longer running side project is The Pitch -- in which we have awkward discussions with solar manufacturers and suppliers about their new technology and ideas so that you don't have to. We've discusses everything from residential rail-less deck attaching and home solar financing to large-scale energy storage value stacking and utility-driven new home solar + storage microgrids. We also post our Project of the Year announcements there! Interviews with this year's winners will be up starting the week of Nov. 8. Head there and subscribe today to stay on top of all this extra stuff.
