US-based microinverter manufacturer Enphase as well as German PV panel maker Sonnenstromfabrik have actually released a brand-new AC residential product for the European residential market.

The 60-cell PERC monocrystalline module is available in three variations with power result ranging from 320 to 330 W as well as efficiencies of 18.8% to 19.4%.

The Enphase Energized AC module (ACM) is covered with 2 x 2 mm dual glass laminate which the firm asserts is extremely protective once again microcracks, dampness and deterioration. "The ACM's anti-reflective glass ensures superior performance with up to 5% even more yield as well as maximum light result of the modules, also in low light conditions," the two business said.

With a weight of 22 kg, the panel includes an MC4-compatible adapter as well as a junction box with an IP 67 ranking.

Open circuit voltage varies from 40.22 V, for the 320 W panel, to 40.60 V for the 330 W version, according to the supplier. The panels can be utilized in PV systems with an optimum voltage of 1,000 V. The supplier supplies a 30-year power output guarantee for 87.0% of the initial return.

The module additionally includes Enphase IQ 7+ microinverters with a 96.5% European performance and 295 volt-amperes (VA). It is likewise furnished with two-wire Enphase Q Cable, Enphase Envoy-S gateway and also Enphase Envoy-S metered portal with split core present transformers for production and intake monitoring.

The brand-new item, Enphase went on to say, is able to ensure improved funding monitoring, reduced labor prices, streamlined style and faster setup times. It is presently offered in Germany, Belgium, France and also the Netherlands.
