Currently the second
largest manufacturer of solar power inverters globally, Power-One’s
Renewable Energy Solutions has seen remarkable growth in the
past 12 months. The Power-One Aurora brand of renewable energy power
inverters offer best-in-class performance and reliability along with
a global customer care package.
Industry magazine
Photon magazine said our European 10.0kW three-phase inverter ‘takes
its place among the top devices Photon Lab has tested so far’. “The
Photon review of our three-phase inverter was an expected success for
us but not in such glowing terms. The ‘impressive’ performance
with a Photon efficiency rating of 96.9% for high irradiation was
confirmation of our hard work in bringing some of the newest cutting
edge technology to the market.”
PVI-3.0, PVI-3.6, PVI-4.2
The most common
residential inverter is the ideal size for an average-sized family
home. This single-phase string inverter complements the typical
number of rooftop solar panels, allowing home-owners to get the most
efficient energy harvesting for the size of the property.
This rugged outdoor
inverter has been designed as a completely sealed unit to withstand
the harshest environmental conditions. One of the key benefits of
this inverter is the dual input section to process two strings with
independent MPPT especially useful for rooftop installations with two
different orientations (ie East and West). The high speed MPPT offers
real-time power tracking and improved energy harvesting. The
transformerless operation gives the highest efficiency of up to
96.8%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to
low power installations with reduced string size.
PVI-5000, PVI-6000
Designed for
residential and small commercial PV installations, this inverter
fills a specific niche in the Aurora product line to cater for those
installations producing between 5kw and 25kw.
This inverter has all
the usual Aurora benefits, including dual input section to process
two strings with independent MPPT, high speed and precise MPPT
algorithm for real-time power tracking and energy harvesting, as well
as transformerless operation for high performance efficiencies of up
to 97%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to
low power installations with reduced string size. This outdoor
inverter has been designed as a completely sealed unit to withstand
the harshest environmental conditions.
PVI-10.0, PVI-12.5
Officially rated A+ by
industry publication Photon International, the three-phase 10.0 &
12.5kw non-isolated inverter is an industry leader. It is one of the
best selling three-phase string inverters in the PV market.
Designed for
commercial usage, this three-phase inverter is highly unique in its
ability to control the performance of the PV panels, especially
during periods of variable weather conditions. This transformerless
device has two independent MPPTs and efficiency ratings of up to
97.7%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to
low power installations with reduced string size. It is available
with an optional fully-integrated DC switch, fuse and remote
controlled DC disconnect function. The unit is free of electrolytic
capacitors, leading to a longer product lifetime.
TRIO-20.0-TL, TRIO-27.6-TL
Controlling more PV
panels than its smaller predecessor, the Trio-27.6 and Trio-20.0 will
offer more flexibility and control to installers who have large
installations with varying aspects or orientations. This device has
two independent MPPTs and efficiency ratings of up to 98.3%. The very
wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to installations
with reduced string size.
The
new look inverter has new features including a special built-in heat
sink compartment and front panel display system. The unit is free of
electrolytic capacitors, leading to a longer product lifetime.
EVO Easy Control - PVI-AEC-EVO
The new Easy Control
system offers customers the ability to monitor PV or wind
installation performance from a remote location using either an
Ethernet/Internet connection or mobile phone technology.
Plant performance
information such as energy harvesting, power, voltage and current
data is available in real-time. Users will benefit from this control
unit’s very high speed updates. Its modular design allows for
future expansion with further features created using add-on modules.
You can link up to 128 devices with the Easy Control system using
RS485 communication port data. This flexible monitoring system can be
linked to a wide range of output devices, including mobile phone, any
online or Bluetooth device as well as the complementary Aurora
Desktop monitoring system.
PVI Desktop
Power-One’s Desktop
product allows inverter owners to monitor performance from anywhere
within 300 metres of the units.
Ideal for residential
and small commercial PV applications, the Desktop features touch
screen colour TFT display and can be either wireless or connected.
The Desktop system can also be linked via Bluetooth or USB to a
personal computer and the Internet. You can watch energy harvesting
data for up to six Aurora inverters at once using the Desktop
monitoring system. Wireless communication requires an additional
radio transceiver fitted within the inverter.
