Sungrow's 1500V inverter leads the North American market

On September 13, Solar Power International 2016, the largest and most influential photovoltaic exhibition in North America, kicked off at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the United States. Sungrow, a global photovoltaic leader, unveiled its new 1500V product.

New 1500V string inverter SG125HV

It is reported that at this exhibition, Sungrow exhibited a new 1500V string inverter SG125HV designed specifically for the North American market. The product has a rated power of 125kW and is the world's first string inverter with a rated power of more than 100kW. It weighs only 60kg and is easy to install and maintain. It adopts independent patented five-level technology, with a maximum efficiency of over 99% and a CEC efficiency of 98.5%. It has an efficient heat dissipation system that can easily cope with high temperatures and full power, and there is no derating at high temperatures of 50°C. The maximum DC/AC ratio reaches 1.5, ensuring high returns for customers. It also supports power carrier PLC communication to save communication cable costs.

For customers who require centralized inverters, Sungrow has brought the box-type medium-voltage inverter SG2500HV-MV, which is well received by the owners. The product has a maximum DC input voltage of 1500V, integrates high-efficiency step-up transformer and medium-voltage distribution, is easy to install on site, reduces construction time, and can achieve early power generation and early profits; the container-type design and unified maintenance of "inverter" and "transformer" make users more worry-free, and also solves many current problems such as irregular transformer access, land shortage, short construction period and difficult later maintenance; at the same time, it adopts independent patented three-level technology, and the inverter efficiency exceeds 99%.

"Compared with 1000V, the 1500V system can improve the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system by increasing the voltage level on the DC side of the system. This is an important change to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and has become the development trend of the photovoltaic industry in the future. Sungrow has been practicing in the 1500V field for a long time. It is the only company whose string and centralized inverters have all broken through 1500V, and the product inverter efficiency exceeds 99%. The ironclad facts prove that we are the leader in the 1500V system." said Zhou Yanfeng, Vice President of Sungrow.

As one of the core markets for photovoltaics, North America has a very broad market potential, and also places extremely high demands on the performance of the inverter itself. With nearly 20 years of R&D experience and perfect local after-sales service support, Sungrow has achieved outstanding performance in the North American market competition and has become one of the most popular inverter suppliers in North America. Currently, the installed capacity in the North American market exceeds 500MW.
