Kaco new energy launches next-generation solar PV inverters optimized with Ampt Mode

Share

Kaco's inverters in Ampt Mode operate at up to 80 percent higher output power and dissipate less power per kilowatt than the same inverter in a normal mode.

Kaco will showcase its new inverter offering at Solar Power International (SPI) 2012, one of the solar energy industry's largest events in North America, held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. from September 10-13, 2012. At the event, Ampt will join Kaco in a panel discussion titled "Optimizers versus Microinverters" at KACO booth #1557.

"Kaco inverters operating in Ampt Mode take full advantage of our technology to extend the depth and capability of our product line," said Dorko Eliaszewskyj, General Manager Americas at Kaco new energy. "Offering a solution that lowers upfront capital costs while increasing the energy yield of PV systems further distinguishes our value to customers."

The next-generation 10kW, 30kW and 550kW XP Series inverters are designed to operate in both normal and Ampt Mode settings. When set in Ampt Mode and deployed with Ampt's DC optimizers, system owners save up to 40 percent or more on balance of system (BOS) electrical components and labor. They also benefit from higher lifetime energy production by having maximum power point tracking (MPPT) on each PV module.

"Kaco is globally recognized for its uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation," said Levent Gun, CEO at Ampt. "The combination of our technologies into this lowest cost, highest performance solution is yet another example of Kaco's leadership in PV."
