20A high-current micro-inverter and 210 module "join hands" to empower commercial and industrial photovoltaics in the Philippines

Located in southeast Asia, the Philippines has abundant sunlight resources, with an average daily sunshine of about 4.5-5.5/kwh per square meter, which is very suitable for the development of solar energy-related industries. In March 2021, the Philippine government released its 2018-2040 energy plan, with a photovoltaic installed capacity target of 11.4GW by 2030. The release of the plan has greatly promoted the construction of local photovoltaic projects, and industrial and commercial photovoltaics have also ushered in a period of vigorous development.

20A high current micro inverter + 210 components

A powerful alliance

Recently, an industrial and commercial photovoltaic project in a certain area of ​​the Philippines was successfully completed. The project was built on the roof of a local enterprise with a total installed capacity of 200kW. It all uses AP Energy Technology's latest generation of micro-inverters DS3 and Trina 515W high-power modules. The project has now been connected to the grid for power generation, bringing a steady stream of clean energy to the owner.

It is worth mentioning that the completion of this project is a perfect practice of the micro-inverter DS3 and the 210 large-size components. The micro-inverter DS3 used in the project has an input current of 20A, which perfectly matches the 210 large-size components. On the basis of ensuring the safety, intelligence and multi-generation of the micro-inverter system, it reduces the system cost to the greatest extent, and is extremely suitable for application in distributed industrial and commercial scenarios.

Use Microinverter to maintain "ultimate safety"

In addition to the high cost-effectiveness, the reason why the owner chose the micro inverter is that it is "extremely safe". The entire corporate building has relatively dense personnel activities during the day, so the owner pays special attention to the safety of the photovoltaic system. At the same time, the Philippines has also issued relevant safety regulations for distributed photovoltaics. Among them, the Philippine Electrical Code 2017 clearly requires that rooftop photovoltaic power stations must be able to achieve a fast shutdown function to ensure the safety of rooftop photovoltaics.

Micro inverter products have the natural characteristic of no DC high voltage, which can fundamentally solve the fire hazard at the DC end of the photovoltaic system! Unlike traditional inverter systems, micro inverters use a full parallel circuit design, there is no voltage superposition between components, and there is only about 60V DC voltage in the entire array, without DC high voltage arcing fire hazards. The extremely safe design makes micro inverters extremely suitable for distributed photovoltaic application scenarios such as industry and commerce that have high requirements for photovoltaic safety.

Efficient and intelligent, effectively improving power station revenue

The use of the micro-inverter DS3 ensures that the entire system generates electricity without a "short board effect" and can be installed without fear of obstruction, and as many photovoltaic panels as possible can be installed on the roof to provide more clean electricity for the building.

At the same time, through the EMA intelligent operation and maintenance platform, users can clearly see the power generation status of each component through a computer or mobile phone, saving a lot of manpower and material resources for the subsequent operation and maintenance of the system.

The combination of 20A high-current micro-inverter and 210 large-size modules has further reduced the cost of the micro-inverter system and promoted its market application. It is believed that with the development of technology and the strengthening of safety regulations, the application advantages of micro-inverter products will be recognized by more people, enabling more photovoltaic power stations to operate safely and efficiently.
