GoodWe has launched its LVSMT-US inverter to meet the needs of small C&I installations in the US. In order to meet a range of capacities and local grid requirements, the product can be easily set during commissioning to a range of sizes and voltage outputs (22/28kW 208V, 23/30kW at 220V, and 25/32kW at 240V), simplifying ordering and eliminating the need for a costly transformer.
The three-phase, low-voltage inverter provides a cost-effective solution with 4 MPPTs to optimize power output. With its embedded rapid shutdown transmitter, it meets safety standards without requiring any additional module-level hardware, including a number of features that improve energy production, such as a maximum efficiency of 97.5% and a CEC efficiency of 96.5%, a wide voltage operating range of 180V-950V, and 180% DC oversizing.
Michael Mendik, Manager for the USA and Canada, commented: “Following the success of our SMT-US series for medium- to large-scale C&I installations, we are now bringing its advanced string-inverter technology to the small C&I market. From carports and schools to healthcare settings and retail establishments, this value-packed string inverter eliminates the need for costly MLPE, while still providing all of the benefits to improve the energy and financial performance over the system’s lifetime. Additionally, the convenience and improved ROI offered by the product’s flexibility in voltage and capacity is truly groundbreaking.”
GoodWe provides both residential and commercial solar energy systems that enable households and businesses alike to harvest maximum solar energy and reduce their carbon footprint. All of the company’s string inverters for the North American market achieve safety shutdown standards with a built-in rapid shutdown transmitter, eliminating the need to install MLPE. The company’s commercial and industrial product suite includes inverters, smart meters and loggers for monitoring. It delivers significant economic, environmental, and operational advantages for businesses, large and small, with its free SEMS (Smart Energy Management System) platform a state-of-the-art solution for efficient solar and storage monitoring and management.
