The brand new high-power DC-optimized 330-kW SolarEdge inverter system has acquired UL 1741-SB certification and has been put in on its first challenge in the US.
The primary commissioned DC-optimized SolarEdge 330-kW inverter system in the US is used on a 1-MW ground-mount photo voltaic system that was not too long ago put in in Northern California, on a website owned by the Karuk Tribe. Designed to handle and distribute electrical energy effectively over lengthy distances and to scale back stability of system prices, the system was put in by Arizona-based EPC firm SunRenu. The challenge is predicted to provide roughly 1,575,000 kWh of photo voltaic vitality yearly and, in line with SunRenu, is anticipated to offset roughly 96% of the location’s annual electrical energy use.
Launched in the US within the third quarter of 2023 and now commercially out there, the three-phase DC-optimized inverter and its complementing H1300 energy optimizer allows photo voltaic initiatives to beat challenges typically posed by shading and uneven terrain on non-residential initiatives. The SolarEdge resolution has 99% inverter effectivity, 2:1 energy optimizers, 200% DC-oversizing, an built-in PID rectifier, and decreased BOS with fewer and longer strings.
“We chosen SolarEdge’s 330-kW inverter for the Karuk Tribe-owned website because it mitigated voltage drop which, in flip, minimized energy degradation and streamlined set up. Moreover, its increased energy output considerably decreased the variety of inverters wanted, leading to decrease set up prices and stability of system prices,” stated John McDonnell, principal, SunRenu. “This superior resolution not solely dealt with project-specific challenges but additionally supplied module-level energy electronics advantages, guaranteeing elevated vitality manufacturing, enhanced security options and environment friendly monitoring. With secure DC performance and voltage regulation capabilities, SolarEdge’s expertise not solely met stringent security requirements but additionally gained belief from the native utility firm, aligning with the client’s dedication to innovation, security and operational effectivity. “
“With the business looking for options that enhance each scalability and economics for group photo voltaic, we anticipate that DC-optimization can be crucial in maximizing ROI and bringing worth to each buyers and group photo voltaic clients,” commented Peter Mathews, Common Supervisor SolarEdge North America
