More Information
Single-phase string inverters with 3, 4, and 5 kW
- Easy intstallation – 1 string per inverter
- Highest yields – peak efficiency factor of 97.7 %
- Wide range of applications – outdoor installation (IP 65) in temperature range of up to +60 °
- Solar Magazin "Photon" Test: "A" for medium irradiation and "A" for high irradiation
Efficiency
Thanks to the innovative patented VTL topology, Voltwerk inverters can reach peak efficiency factors of 97.7 %. The new tech nology also ensures highest european efficiency factors of up to 97,0 %. The exceptionally fast and precise MPP tracking guarantees that there is no loss of output in case of irradiation changes.
Reliability
The new patented PowerCool cooling concept optimises heat distribution in the inverter. The sophisticated cooling sys tem and the high-quality components prevent premature ageing of the power electronics and guarantee a maximum service life expectancy for the inverters. The protection type IP 65 and the ambient temperature range of -20°C to +60°C allow an installation of the inverters in practically any environment.
Flexibility
Due to the wide input voltage range of the VS series, modules can be flexibly wired. The high input voltage (UDC = up to 940 V) permits maximum string lengths for low string losses and cost-effective photovoltaic module wiring.
Solar generator optimization
Voltwerk string inverters allow an immediate documentation of the current-voltage-curve. Thereby in particular cases wiring faults can already be determined and eliminated during commissioning on site.
