inverters

Independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has acquired 1GW (298 units) of inverters from Spanish manufacturer Ingeteam for its 2GW/11GWh Oasis de Atacama solar-plus-storage project in Chile. 

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

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

PV Talk: “It then has gone to 1,500V and we’re on the precipice of another change," ABB's Brian Nelson tells PV Tech Premium.

Asset underperformance cost the global solar sector a record US$10 billion in lost revenue in 2024, according to Raptor Maps.

PV module prices dropped in Europe in December 2024, while the European PV sector remains optimistic about the industry’s long-term growth.

As solar panel prices continue their downward trend in November, module prices are expected to face a ‘slight uptick’ in December, according to the latest pv.index report.

SolarEdge interim CEO Ronen Faier has spoken about the closure of the company’s utility-scale battery storage manufacturing business.

The inverter helps prevent fires in solar systems but can also cause them if not properly specified. Clean Energy Associates’ Ankil Sanghvi looks at the details of inverter architecture that should be investigated to prevent the worst from happening.
