23/28kW, 1000Vdc String Inverters for North America

The medium power series of grid-tied, transformerless inverters

help to accelerate the use of 1000Vdc and three phase string
architecture for commercial and small ground mount utility
applications. An NRTL approved, cost effective alternative
to central inverters enabling BoS cost savings, high harvest
performance and modular design building blocks. These models
provide up to 98.6% conversion efficiency and wide operating
window of 300-900Vdc and dual MPPTs for maximum cash-flow
generation.
