Inverter & controller package

Using experience gained from wind power, The Sun Switch is an integrated inverter and AC station package. It offers grid-support technology for solar farms with exceptionally strong grid-support functionality. The Sun Switch inverter is built specifically to be compatible with utility-scale installations. It features the latest advances in low-voltage ride-through (LVRT)—also known as fault ride-through (FRT)—as well as reactive power (VAR) and frequency support that are fully compliant with the most current utility requirements. It brings a new level of intelligence to the overall solar power system with its maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and future module-based boost converters. It also communicates fluently with the grid to avoid instabilities by either injecting or absorbing reactive power in a coordinated fashion across a large number of solar inverters in a single solar power plant. The Sun Switch is available at a competitive price that lowers total cost of ownership by being 100% purpose-built and optimized for the sun.
