Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. installed medium voltage three-phase string inverters at the 13MW Roves

Farm solar park. With an MPPT voltage range of 575 to 850 volts and an eficiency factor of more than 98%,
the AE 3TL 23-MV is a solution for medium voltage applications on large scale solar projects. The AE 3TL

23-MV utilizes convection cooling with no external fans to ensure high uptime and minimum maintenance, a

lightweight powerweight ratio, and plug and play coniguration to ensure the unit remains safely closed during
installation.
