The 1.0 MW ISIS will enable SEMV to realize increased farm productivity by taking full advantage of 1000 Volt PV panels through its 1200 Volt UL1741 and IEEE 1547 witness-tested architecture. AETI's ISIS high-reliability features, such as liquid cooling and operation without derating for up to 50 degrees C, allows SEMV to have the flexibility to work in Mexico's tough desert climates.
"We selected the ISIS solar inverter for our project requirements based on its high-performance capabilities and AETI's proven history of deploying reliable, megawatt-class power systems in harsh desert climates," said George Gonzalez, executive director, SEMV. "We look forward to working with AETI on our other future utility-scale solar projects as well."
AETI's ISIS unit is the world's first 1MW solar inverter witness-tested to UL1741 by a nationally recognized test lab (NRTL), TUV of North America. By integrating 1MW of liquid cooled power inverters with a 1MVA transformer and medium voltage switchgear, SEMV can reduce field installation costs while assuring a successful deployment.
"We are pleased to have been selected by SEMV for their important solar project," said Charles Dauber, president and CEO, AETI. "By working with international solar project developers like SEMV, we can enable the industry to reach its Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) objectives and help solar power reach grid parity cost levels."
AETI expects to ship the system in the third quarter for installation in Fall 2012.
