New North American commercial inverter solutions  

SMA's Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverter is getting an upgrade with two new power classes. In addition to the currently available 50kW CORE1 model, a new higher power 62.5kW model is optimized for large projects utilizing higher efficiency modules, and a 33kW model will be available for projects with smaller or highly segmented arrays as well as 600V repowering projects. All three models of the CORE1 offer SMA's latest performance and safety technologies. The new CORE1 series includes advanced smart inverter capabilities to fulfill utility grid support interconnection requirements, as well as SMA's next-generation DC AFCI technology for compliance to the new UL 1699B standard for arc-fault protection. The CORE1's safety features are further enhanced with support for the new SunSpec Power Line Communication (PLC) signal for module-level rapid shutdown. Based on this industry standard, the Sunny Tripower CORE1 combined with SMA's new TS4-F module-level device provide a reliable, cost-effective solution to achieve compliance with 2017 NEC module-level rapid shutdown requirements in commercial rooftop systems.
