Utility-Scale Inverter
Eaton Corporation introduces the Power Xpert Solar 1500 kW inverter for utility-scale solar applications. The Power Xpert Solar inverter converts direct-current (DC) power into clean, alternating current (AC), and is designed to improve plant levelized cost of energy (LCOE), maximize customers’ energy harvest, and operate reliably in harsh environments, while adhering to high safety standards. With a true megawatt inverter platform and a unique transformer coupling approach, the Power Xpert Solar 1500 kW inverter enables a skid-less inverter station, reducing equipment requirements and installation costs. Eaton designed the Power Xpert Solar 1500 kW inverter to use an MV pad-mount transformer, which is connected to the inverter via a direct-coupled throat connection, reducing cable requirements, pad size, and commissioning time.
