Bigger Systems Without MPU: SolarEdge Inverters Unlock Possibilities
- SolarEdge has released its new inverters with PCS technology, enabling larger PV systems and up to 200% DC oversizing in the U.S. The new inverters are expected to be available with faster commissioning and enhanced reliability by the end of 2020.
SolarEdge has released the latest version of its SolarEdge Home Hub and Wave inverters in the U.S., which are integrated with power control system (PCS) technology. This technology will enable the installation of PV systems that are more than 50% larger without requiring costly and time-consuming main panel upgrades. The SolarEdge DC-coupled architecture also enables up to 200% DC oversizing and storage of excess PV in the SolarEdge Home DC-coupled battery. The new inverters also boast software innovations for faster commissioning and automotive-grade critical components for enhanced inverter reliability. This could significantly improve the economics of PV and battery storage across the U.S. The new SolarEdge inverters are expected to be available for order by the end of the year.
