PR Newswire (US)
Backed by nearly 30 years of experience perfecting power conversion
solutions, Solaron(R) inverters enable customers to achieve the
lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE) FORT COLLINS, Colo., Sept.
15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ:AEIS) introduced today the Solaron 500E, a European model
of its high-efficiency, transformerless, grid-tie photovoltaic (PV)
inverter. Operating at 500 kW, the Solaron 500E enables European
commercial and utility-scale PV installations to achieve the lowest
levelized cost of energy (LCOE) in the industry by increasing
energy harvests and by reducing balance-of-system (BoS) and
operating and maintenance (O&M) costs. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030825/AEISLOGO) Rated at a
record-setting 97.5 percent CEC-weighted (97.7 percent
European-weighted) efficiency, the Solaron inverter enables higher
energy harvests through its robust controls and patented
soft-switching technology. The Solaron inverter's transformerless
design eliminates the need for a step-up transformer and makes it
smaller and lighter than competitive products. The design of the
Solaron inverter also allows multiple inverter connections to a
single medium-voltage transformer, minimizing the number of such
transformers required for a system. Additionally, the Solaron
inverter comes in an outdoor-ready IP45 enclosure that eliminates
the need for and the cost of additional heating and cooling
systems. To reduce O&M costs, Advanced Energy offers
industry-leading service and support, including extended warranties
up to 20 years and customizable SafeGuard service programs.
"Following the successful rollout of the Solaron platform in the
U.S. market, we are pleased to now offer the same industry-leading,
high performance features to the European market," said Dr. Hans
Betz, president and CEO of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. "We
believe our Solaron product delivers the most effective inverter
solution and allows customers to achieve maximum power and cost
performance from their systems." To learn more about AE's expanding
