  • GreatWall Energy adds ‘Ampt Mode’ to line of inverters for string optimization

    China Electronics GreatWall Energy, one of the world’s largest solar inverter manufacturers, has incorporated an Ampt Mode with its Satcon Equinox 750kW inverters. Using these inverters with Ampt String Optimizers can lower the total system cost while improving lifetime system performance to deliver more value than can be achieved by traditionalRead More — Solar Builder magazine

  • SMA acquires stake in Tigo Energy to boost MLPE offering

    Each photovoltaic system is different. This is the reason why different inverter technologies have established themselves over the last few years. More than half of global demand is for large solar projects that are generally equipped with central inverters. On the other hand, medium and small-sized photovoltaic systems usually haveRead More — Solar Builder magazine

  • Ampt string optimizers added to PVsyst software update

    Site planning is key to matching the perfect PV system architecture to the right jobsite, and software plays a big role in this. PVsyst is updating its latest software, PVsyst 6.43, to include Ampt’s DC String Optimizers, allowing users to model the performance benefits of said optimizers in large-scale PV systems. PVsyst’s softwareRead More — Solar Builder magazine

  • How optimizers bridge the gap to 1,500-volt PV systems

    The need to lower PV system costs is driving large-scale solar developers to consider changing from 1,000- to 1,500-volt DC systems. The United States PV market was able to lower the cost of PV systems by increasing the maximum system voltage from 600 to 1,000 volts a few years ago.Read More — Solar Builder magazine
