Inverters

Deye has exhibited a diverse range of renewable energy solutions including microinverters, string inverters, high-voltage hybrid inverters, high-voltage batteries, and all-in-one systems at REI Expo 2023.

Fuji Electric India has introduced the PV 1500 series central inverters for large-scale solar plants. The inverters are available from 1,042 kVA up to 4,167 kVA and offer DC/AC ratio up to 1.6 and peak efficiency of 98.8%.

Siemens says it plans to set up an 800 MW utility-scale inverter factory in the US state of Wisconsin. The facility will focus on the production of string inverters.

Sungrow will supply its 1+X modular inverter solution to the 2.2 GW AC solar plant of the NEOM green hydrogen project. The PV plant is being executed by Larsen & Toubro on an EPC basis.

SMA’s new one-phase hybrid inverters have efficiency ratings of up to 97.5% and European efficiency ratings of 96.8%. They are available in four versions, with power outputs ranging from 3.6 kW to 6 kW.

India installed 9.8 GW of utility-scale solar and 2.2 GW of rooftop PV capacity in the twelve months ending March 31, 2023.

Delta Electronics India is a leading power and energy management solutions provider for the telecommunications industry. Rajesh Kaushal, vice president at Delta Electronics India, speaks to pv magazine about solarization of telecom tower sites in India, Delta’s role in driving this transition with its energy management solutions, challenges, and the way forward. 

Corporate decarbonization, value chain integration, wind-solar hybrid projects, battery energy storage, offshore wind, green hydrogen, and value-added offerings such as energy-as-a-service are key trends and technologies shaping up India’s renewable energy sector and offering ample scope for investments.

German researchers have created an algorithm to predict and identify string yield losses or underperforming strings without additional weather data. It could be used to inspect modules, strings, arrays, inverters, and transformers.

US-based solar controller producer Morningstar has launched a new line of off-grid inverters, featuring six models ranging from 150 W to 2,500 W. Production and deliveries are scheduled to start this year.
