High-end string inverters of today incorporate the major advantages of central inverters, such as high system voltage and three phased output, without sacrificing the high efficiencies string inverters are known for. Combined with the well known strengths of string inverters this grants a series of advantages.
- Reduced Installation Costs
The wide specifications of high-end string inverters result in reduced costs in installation as cabling is simplified, and junction boxes can be omitted. Increased YieldYield is increased as losses in both AC and DC cabling are reduced, and multiple inputs and MPP trackers ensure optimum utilisation of the power available.
- Easy Installation
String inverters and compact transformer stations are commonly used and have short lead times. They are easy to install and can be placed in the field with little influence on the placement of the PV module substructures.
- Easy Service
Service contracts known from central inverters are not necessary and no special training is required to install, maintain or exchange string inverters.
