Usar inversores centrais ou string no mercado de geração centralizada?

Neste pv magazine Webinar, vamos comparar as tecnologias de inversores centrais e string da TBEA para usinas de geração centralizada e investigar quando faz sentido usar cada tipo de tecnologia. A empresa Chinesa de inversores tem as duas tipologias de inversores no seu portfólio e diz-se assim em posição para apresentar uma comparação não tendenciosa.
