Transformerless Residential Inverter Series

June 22, 2014 by Jeff Shepard

Solectria Renewables, LLC announced the introduction of three new transformerless residential inverters, adding 5.2kW, 6.6kW and 7.6kW inverters to the existing product line. The complete series of transformerless residential inverters includes the PVI 3800TL (introduced in January 2014), PVI 5200TL, PVI 6600TL and PVI 7600TL. The PVI 3800-7600TL feature the highest peak (98%) and CEC (97.5%) efficiencies, compared with other major inverter suppliers. Their compact, lightweight design with integrated fused combiners and DC disconnect makes for quick and easy installation.

They can withstand the harshest weather conditions with NEMA 4 enclosure ratings and passive cooling without a fan. The PVI 5200-7600TL's come standard with dual MPPTs. All of the inverters in this series have options for arc fault detection and interrupt as well as web-based monitoring.

"Solectria was an early entrant into the residential market in 2005. Since then, we expanded the line to cover 1.8-7.5kW single-phase inverters. Now, the transformerless models advance efficiency, safety features and reliability for the residential PV market," said James Worden, CEO of Solectria Renewables. "Adding the three additional transformerless inverters to the PVI 3800TL already released is evidence of our commitment to be at the forefront of all segments of the PV inverter market."
