Modular inverters scale
up photovoltaic supplies
Commercial photovoltaic inverters are developed in response to the rapidly growing global demand for environmentally friendly power sources
New from Power-One, the 100kW PVI-100 Series are the first products in the company's Aurora PVI-Central family of commercial photovoltaic inverters. The PVI-Central family employs subracks in a scalable modular architecture that facilitates application-optimised solutions from 5 to 300kW. These grid-tie systems are designed for large solar applications such as apartment buildings and industrial facilities.

3.3V-output 20A sixteenth-brick isolated DC/DC convertor is intended for communications, data server/storage and workstation applications
This flexible design uses 50 and 100kW subracks.
The 100kW subracks can be configured to either provide two functionally independent 50kW outputs, or a single 100kW power output.
High conversion efficiencies (up to 96.9% Euro), combined with high-speed MPPT (maximum power point tracking) channels, optimise energy harvesting across a wide array of operating conditions.
According to Bill Yeates, Power-One's CEO: 'These commercial-grade inverters feature scalability in a common-enclosure package that is delivered preconfigured and pretested'.
'In addition to reducing on-site installation wiring and testing, this industry-leading technology provides cost-effective solutions with smaller footprints and increased reliability'.
Yeates continues: 'The development of the PVI-100 was in response to the rapidly growing global demand for environmentally friendly power sources'.
'These higher-wattage commercial-grade inverters are excellent additions to our Aurora family and further demonstrate Power-One's commitment to introduce industry-leading products addressing the renewable energy market in support of improving the global environment'.
Applications flexibility is further enhanced by the availability of models with and without isolation transformers (self contained within the inverter rack) providing 208 or 480V AC outputs.
A broad range of communications options include: dial-up, ISDN, Ethernet, DSL, GSM and the optional Aurora Easy Communication System hardware/software.
Additional product features include: compact 1250 x 1570 x 810mm NEMA-2 rated enclosures; DSP-based controls that support self-diagnostics; LCD real-time readout of operating status; and simplified maintenance via unobstructed front access to modules and power boards.
PVI-100 products are backed by a five-year warranty that is optionally extendable to 20 years.
