SMA America LLC

Utility scale PV inverter line

SMA America LLC, the US-based subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology AG, has expanded its US line of utility products with the Sunny Central High Efficiency (HE) line of solar inverters. The new 500 and 630 kilowatt inverters provide integrators, project developers, and EPCs with a utility scale 1000VDC solution that features the industry’s best efficiency in the medium-voltage interconnection category. The Sunny Central 500HE features a maximum output of 550 kVA, while the 630HE produces 700 kVA. Both provide full AC-rated active power while maintaining a 0.9 lagging/leading power factor range, and while operating continuously at 50° Celsius. By connecting to an external medium-voltage transformer to accommodate long-distance power feeds to distribution substations, the HE line is ideal for utility installations and industry leading maximum and weighted efficiencies of 98.6% and 98.4% result in an outstanding energy yield.
