pvi1800PVI 1800 and PVI 2500 INVERTERS

A breakthrough in price and quality

 

OVERVIEW: INTEGRATED PV INVERTER

The Integrated Panel Assemblies are options for the PVI 1800 or PVI 2500 inverters. They can be used with inverters set to 240 VAC or 208VAC. These panels make installing a PV system even faster and easier. The complete panel with inverter weighs only 65 lb (29.5 kg) and can ship UPS. The standard version includes visible-blade AC and DC disconnects, an optional revenue grade, factory sealed, reconditioned kWh meter all mounted on an aluminum panel using stainless steel hardware. The design compliments the sleek, low profile inverters providing a clean, compact installation whether indoors or outdoors.

 

 

 

APPLICATIONS

  • 1-3 kW single panel residential or commercial installations.
  • Multiple 1-3 kW residential or commercial separately metered systems in town houses, condos or apartments.
  • Two & three-inverter panels available for 4-9 kW Systems (3.6-7.5 kW AC). Multiple paralleled panels are used without kWh meters and the panels are combined to go through a single kWh meter.
  • Versions available with various parts omitted, added or substituted to meet any state, municipal or utility requirement.

RELIABILITY

The PVI 1800/ PVI 2500 provides industry leading reliability. One look at the automated production and PCB assembly inside the inverter shows its industrial quality. Rigorously designed and tested for the harshest conditions, the PVI 1800/ PVI 2500 proves to be consistently reliable.


EASY TO INSTALL

The PVI 1800/ PVI 2500 can be installed easily and quickly, both indoors and outdoors. With a weight of 35 lbs [16 kg] (compared to a average 70 lb [32 kg] for a typical inverter) the PVI 1800/ PVI 2500 is very easy to handle. The inverters also include 'pre-wired' AC and DC cables for quick wiring at the jobsite without opening the inverter!

 

EASY TO OPERATE: PLUG AND PLAY MONITORING

With the PVI 1800/ PVI 2500, Solectria Renewables once again confirms its innovative reputation. With LCD display and auto detect RS232/485 as standard equipment, there is true "plug and play" capability. This gives the PVI 1800/ PVI 2500 a PC interface with excellent monitoring and data acquisition capability. Free PC software. Optional SolrenView of Fat Spaniel web-based monitoring. Also compatible with Draker & other data monitoring packages.

 

SAFETY

The PVI 1800/ PVI 2500 has been tested to the latest UL 1741 and IEEE std 1547 standards and meets all the requirements. An important selling point of this inverter is the galvanic isolation, which increase both reliability and safety.

 

HIGH THERMAL PERFORMANCE

All aluminium construction and high efficiency design provides full rated power in ambient temperatures up to 130ºF (55ºC). No derating will occur!
