Chennai-based Fenice Energy has unveiled new microinverters for residential and commercial solar installations.

The XT36 3-phase microinverter for commercial PV installations provides an output of up to 3,600 VA. A single unit connects to eight high-power modules.

With a maximum input current of 20A, the XT36 is designed to match solar modules with power output from 315 Wp to 670 Wp+. The peak efficiency is 97%, and the nominal MPPT efficiency is 99.9%.

Reactive power control allows better management of photovoltaic power spikes in the grid. The XT36 measures 359 mm x 273 mm x 56 mm and weighs 7 kg.

The YS18 single-phase microinverter for residential solar installations provides an AC output power of up to 1,800 VA. It connects to four solar power modules (2×2 in series). With a maximum input current of 20 A, it is also engineered to match modules up to 670 Wp+.

pv magazine print edition

The November edition of pv magazine is dominated by the issue of global oversupply and examines the effects of a solar glut in the European Union, the United States, and other markets. We turn the spotlight on PV developments in South Korea, Taiwan, and Africa and update readers on technological progress in thin films, kerfless wafering, and mass produced heterojunction PV.

The peak efficiency is 97%, and the nominal MPPT efficiency is 99.5%. The YS18 measures 284 mm x 234 mm x 50.2 mm and weighs 4.3 kg.

The components in both XT36 and YS18 micro-inverters are encapsulated with silicone to reduce stress on electronics, facilitate thermal dissipation, enhance waterproof properties, and ensure maximum reliability of the system.
