Business Wire
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS), today announced
the launch of its next generation string inverters with the PV
Powered (PVP) HE String inverter line, an all-new line of
high-performance string inverters ideally suited for North American
residential and small-commercial rooftop installations. The new PVP
HE String line is the industry’s first inverter to offer standard
ZigBee wireless monitoring. The innovative inverter also offers
high-efficiency and multiple ease-of-installation features in a
high reliability design from Advanced Energy (AE), a company that
has set the standard in inverter reliability.
ZigBee based wireless monitoring allows the new PVP HE String
inverters to communicate with an optional AE wireless gateway
enabling easy access to vital inverter performance information at
no cost, using MyPVpower.com. The integrated design and wireless
features eliminate the need for inverter modifications in the field
as well as complex cable configuration from the inverter.
Integrating ZigBee monitoring also allows compatibility with other
ZigBee enabled Smart Grid communication devices such as smart
appliances, utility Smart Meters or home area network (HAN)
controllers. Overall, AE’s innovative approach to integrated
wireless monitoring provides customers with key capabilities not
offered by other competitive solutions and sets the industry
benchmark for Smart Grid interoperability.
“With this new line of string inverters, Advanced Energy
continues to offer high performance products with innovative
features, specifically tailored to our customers’ current and
future needs,” said Steve Levy, vice president of sales and
marketing for AE Solar Energy. “The new PVP HE String inverter
architecture, including wireless monitoring, is yet another
testament to our commitment to provide complete solutions to all
segments of the market.”
With a 97 percent California Energy Commission (CEC) efficiency,
the PVP HE String inverters produce more power throughout the day,
and have features that lower total installation costs. The new
inverter line’s wide maximum power point tracking (MPPT) window
provides designers with a variety of stringing options for a
multitude of roof types. Selectable AC voltage also offers
flexibility by enabling the same inverter model to be used for
multiple installation applications. Installation is made safer and
easier with the inverters’ integrated front and side lifting
handles, strategically located knockout sizes and integrated AC/DC
fusing, making external combiner boxes or fuse boxes
unnecessary.
The PVP HE String line offers power ranges from 3.8 to 7 kW and
will be available in Q2 2012. AE’s new line of string inverters are
covered by a standard 10-year warranty with optional 15- and
20-year warranties.
The company’s solar energy business is driving the adoption of
solar by lowering the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for our
customers. By providing reliable, easy-to-install Solaron® and PV
Powered™ inverters and SiteGuard® whole-site O&M services, AE
enables utility-scale, commercial, and residential solar project
developers to maximize the lifetime value of their power plants.
Customers count on AE as a trusted partner leveraging 30 years of
innovation leadership and global services infrastructure for
optimum project performance. For more information on Advanced
