Inverters

Inverters are critical to PV systems but are often over-specified due to inadequate data on which materials and designs optimise performance.

Following reports of 'rogue' communication devices in Chinese solar inverters, the solar industry needs to wake up to cybersecurity risk.

SMA Solar will begin local assembly of power systems for large-scale solar and energy storage systems in the US.

The increasing sophistication of inverters means they have a role in everything from cybersecurity to home energy management.

Sungrow has signed a supply agreement with Indian independent power producer (IPP) Juniper Green Energy to provide 835MW of its inverters.

US energy officials have found unexplained communication equipment inside some Chinese-made inverter devices.

Continued supply strain has sent module prices on an upward trend in Europe during the month of April, according to the latest pv.index report from solar trading platform sun.store.

The ESMC has called for a restriction of remote access to PV inverters in Europe from ‘high-risk’ manufacturers, mainly those in China.

Solar cannot be regarded as a 'set and forget' technology and must be fully maintained to prevent systemic underperformance.

Spanish inverter manufacturer Ingeteam has secured a contract from Danish developer European Energy to supply its technology to two solar PV power plants in Australia, totalling an installed generation capacity of 137MW.
