New inverter delivers more power, faster ROI and higher energy
harvests long term FORT COLLINS, Colo., Oct. 7
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy(R) Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ:AEIS) today introduced its newest Solaron(R) offering -- a
500 kW, utility-scale, transformerless, grid-tie photovoltaic (PV)
inverter. Extending the Solaron portfolio beyond inverters for
commercial and small-scale utility installations, the 500 kW
inverter achieves similar, unsurpassed efficiencies as other
Solaron models -- 97.5 percent CEC-weighted (California Energy
Commission) efficiency rating (pending). (Logo:

to delivering more power per inverter for utility-scale
installations, the newest Solaron model delivers previously
unachievable return on investment (ROI)--from installation through
decades of energy harvests. Specifically, before installation is
complete, integrators can save tens of thousands of dollars per
panel section because multiple Solaron inverters can be routed into
a single, medium-voltage station. In operation, unbeatable Solaron
efficiencies enable power producers to achieve higher energy
harvests over an inverter's lifetime, resulting in more favorable
landed cost-per-kilowatt-hour ratios than was possible until now.
Moreover, in addition to the savings from our transformerless
design, integrators who choose particular Solaron options can save
up to 50 percent on specified material costs like cables, achieving
improved ROI even before installation is complete. The AE Solaron
suite of products, services and accessories deliver predictable,
optimal performance for decades. Features such as AE's Integrated
Data System(TM) (IDS(TM)) with instant access to Solaron data from
anywhere at anytime and AE's SafeGuardSM wholly-customizable,
comprehensive service program are part of the Solaron optimized
balance-of-system (BoS) architecture, which can proactively
maximize system uptime, power generation and inverter life.
Solaron(R) 500 kW Utility-Scale PV Inverter Designed for
utility-scale installations, the Solaron 500 kW inverter features a
durable, transformerless, grid-tie design, converting raw DC power
from solar-cell arrays to high-quality AC-grid electricity. With
its robust controls and patented, soft-switching technology, the
Solaron inverter achieves 97.5 percent CEC efficiency (pending). A
wide MPP (maximum power point) tracking window ensures maximum,
day-long power processing. Both local and remote communications and
control are always available via AE's Solaron IDS integrated data
system. Moreover, a comprehensive portfolio of services offerings
-- from installation assistance to long-term warranties and
maintenance programs -- allows integrators and power producers to
continuously operate Solaron inverters at optimal performance for
decades. To learn more about AE's expanding Solaron line of PV
