SolarMax Delivers First US-Market String and Central Inverters

SolarMax, a global pure-play photovoltaic (PV) inverter company based in Switzerland with more than 20 years of experience, announced that its commercial- and utility-grade MT A string inverters with multiple MPPTs, compliant grid operation according to NEC code up to 1000Vdc, and industry leading CEC efficiencies, have successfully passed UL 1741 Standard and IEEE 1547 testing. The 75TS A central inverter product has also recently been certified according to the same UL and IEEE standards as the MT A series. Both classes of inverters are now available for sale in the U.S.
 
“The introduction of the MT A series and 75TS A to the U.S. market demonstrates the company’s ability to quickly deliver on its market expansion strategy, which began with the recent opening of our first U.S. office in Atlanta, Georgia,” said Alan Beale, General Manager, SolarMax USA, Inc. “Commercial and utility applications require purpose-built PV inverter solutions that can be flexible, robust, maximize yield, and enhance profitability. The advanced capacity and weatherproofing features of these two key product families meet the critical needs of U.S. customers.”
 
SolarMax MT A series: String inverter maximizes yield for commercial PV applications
The SolarMax MT A inverters with output power ranges from 12 to 18kW and with multiple MPPTs were engineered for optimal return on investment and overall PV system profitability. The solution’s maximum input voltages of up to 1000V enable longer PV strings to reduce cable losses and expenses, while achieving greater energy harvests. In addition, the increased power density of the inverters helps to reduce installation time and cost. Unlike other PV inverters, the NEMA 4X-rated MT A series was designed for commercial PV applications where inverters need to withstand challenging environmental conditions including extreme cold, heat and humidity. Users can also leverage SolarMax’s MaxTalk communication service software, a professional tool for parameterizing decentralized solar power plants.
 
SolarMax 75TS A: Highly reliable central inverter for commercial PV systems
The SolarMax 75TS A is ETL certified and was specifically developed for the U.S. and Canadian market. Designed for small-, medium- and large-scale commercial PV systems, the very compact SolarMax 75TS A central inverter with an output power of 75kW feeds the maximized yields into the 480V low-voltage grid. The 75TS A features transformer-based galvanic isolation allowing the use of all crystalline and thin-film modules and making it particularly durable and reliable. For a perfect management of the PV plant the web-based MaxWeb xp data logger can be installed to easily monitor and remotely control the 75TS A inverters. The data logger collects the measured values, yield data and events and send them to the SolarMax WebPortal.
 
The MT A series and 75TS A will be on display at booth 8411 at Intersolar North America 2013 held July 9th to 11th, 2013 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
