PV Central Inverters For Solar Power Plants
Central inverters for solar energy systems are designed to reduce the total cost of installation, operation and maintenance for large scale systems. Building on Conergy’s vast experience manufacturing, installing and operating central inverters for the European and Asian markets, in North America Conergy carries central inverters from several world-class manufacturers. The experienced staff at provides design and engineering services for optimal inverter selection.
SMA - Sunny Central Inverter
One of Conergy’s global strategic partners, SMA developed the Sunny Central line of inverters specifically for use in large PV power stations and open-field plants. String monitoring, capacity for teamwork and the ability to feed into the medium-voltage power grid make them a good choice for PV systems with a homogenous structure. The Sunny Centrals are easy to install - indoors as well as outdoors. With peak efficiencies of over 98 % they are among the most efficient central inverters on the market. Maximum reliability and durability ensures the greatest investment security.
Advanced Energy - PVP and Solaron Commercial Inverters
Advanced Energy offers a wide range of inverter sizes for optimal stringing and design flexibility. The commercial inverters from Advanced Energy offer efficiency, high reliability, ease of installation, and lifetime maintainability. Their 20+ year design life is enabled by an array of new market-leading reliability features, including bus bars for all power connections, a sealed electronics module, and an instrumented cooling system. The highly integrated systems were designed to save commercial installers time and money with best-in-class efficiency and the widest voltage window operating range with the lowest standard MPPT voltage of any three-phase inverter in the industry. Serviceability is enhanced by a modular design that divides the inverter into easy-to-maintain sub-systems.
Schneider Electric - Xantrex GT Central Inverter
The Schneider - Xantrex three-phase product line offers an easy to integrate solution for utility scale plants. With a highly reliable design and competitive efficiency, they are available with different output power and AC voltage outputs for a variety of applications - from small commercial installations to large scale photovoltaic farms. With warranties available for up to 10 years of coverage, service contracts and uptime guarantees for up to 20 years, Xantrex GT inverters are designed to maximize return on investment and lower total cost of ownership.
Fronius - CL Central Inverter
The Fronius CL combines high-yield power electronics with the unique, modular system design of up to 15 identical power modules in the MIX™ concept. Maximum yield and the highest stability are the advantages of this sophisticated system. This makes the Fronius CL an excellent central inverter for PV systems of up to several hundred kilowatts. Other advantages include the exact MPP tracking of the module manager, the automatic transformer switching function and much more, making the Fronius CL a distinctive multi-featured device that guarantees continual high performance.
Solectria Renewables - Grid-Tied Central Inverters
Solectria Renewables, LLC is the leading U.S. based grid-tied PV inverter, string combiner and web-based monitoring manufacturer for residential, commercial and utility-scale solar projects. They offer a wide range of products including, 1.8kW to 500kW grid-tied inverters for systems 1kW to multi-MWs. Solectria Renewables is backed by over 20 years of power electronics and inverter experience and world class warranties. All commercial and utility-scale PV inverters are manufactured in the USA, ARRA compliant, and listed to UL 1741/IEEE 1547. Solectria Renewables’ series of inverters boasts industry leading efficiency which translates into significantly greater energy generation per year for utility-scale PV systems.
