A High Performance String Inverter:

  • >94% peak and average efficiency maximizes your PV investment
  • Fast MPPT tracking algorithm ensures maximum energy harvest from your array under any conditions
  • Excellent thermal performance: provides 3.0 kW up to 30º C and 2.5 kW to 45º C with no fan required
  • Optional fan kit extends thermal performance for extremely hot climates
  • FCC Part B compliance means less potential interference with communication, radio, and consumer electronics

Easy and Less Costly to Install:

  • Wide PV input MPPT tracking voltage range makes module selection and sizing extremely flexible
  • Includes a lightweight and versatile mounting bracket that simplifies installation
  • Modular design allows inverters to be mounted side by side using each wiring box as a wiring raceway
  • Easy access PV and utility terminal block simplifies wiring
  • Integrated lockable utility/PV disconnect saves installation time and balance of system component cost
  • Wiring box can be separated from the sealed inverter enclosure allowing DC/AC connections to remain intact in the unlikely event that the inverter needs to be serviced
  • Rugged NEMA 3R inverter enclosure allows reliable outdoor and indoor installations

Full Featured Inverter Display and Communications:

  • Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides instantaneous power, daily and lifetime energy production, PV array voltage and current, utility voltage and frequency, time online “selling” today, fault messages, and installer customizable screens
  • LCD vibration sensor allows the tap of a finger to turn backlight on and display screen cycling
  • Bright LED indicators provide system status at a glance
  • Integrated RS232 and Xanbus RJ45 communication ports
  • PC software for remote monitoring and system troubleshooting

Features:

  • PV/Utility Disconnect Eliminates need for external PV (DC) disconnect. Complies with NEC
  • Cooling: Convection (no fan required)
  • Display: Backlit, two line, 16 character Liquid Crystal Display provides instantaneous power, daily and lifetime energy production, PV array voltage and current, utility voltage and frequency, time online “selling” today, fault messages, and installer customizable screens
  • Wiring Box PV, Utility, Ground, and Communications connections. Wiring box can be separated from inverter
  • Warranty 5 year parts and labor (10 year extended warranty available)


Options:

  • Fan Kit For extreme temperatures and/or south facing inverter installations
