Less than eighteen months after entering the solar photovoltaic (PV) market, Converteam is pleased to announce it has reached 100MWp cumulated orders of its inverter solutions dedicated to the utility-scale solar PV farm market. These orders were awarded in Germany, France (including French overseas departments and territories), the United Kingdom and Italy with the largest project being a 12MWp farm in Sietzsch (with Green Energy 3000 GmbH), which is one of the major photovoltaic installations in Germany. Within just 90 days, 52,200 PV modules were installed on the 33-hectare site in Germany's federal state of Saxony-Anhalt and electrically connected to the grid using 21 Converteam inverters gathered in eight power stations.
Converteam is to present a new generation of photovoltaic (PV) inverters at the Intersolar 2011 (hall B4, booth B4.370) in Munich, Germany. The new inverter works with a DC input voltage of up to 1,500V (DC) offering higher efficiency under partial load conditions and higher power. This results in significant cost savings for the infrastructure of photovoltaic power plants.
Converteam's Solar inverter has been certified according to the technical guideline of German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) as central inverter for photovoltaic applications with a power of more than 500kW fulfilling the stringent BDEW requirements for decentralized power generation equipment. The certificate was issued by Germanischer Lloyd.
Converteam’s inverter technology is particularly attractive to medium and large-scale photovoltaic power plants as it enables to minimize the level of expenditure required for the electrical infrastructure
