SolarMax string inverters – Powerhouses for maximum yields
The SolarMax P series inverters, with an output power from 2 to 5kW, are specifically designed to meet the needs of roof-mounted systems on single homes or apartment buildings. Equipped with a dual tracker concept, difficult conditions such as east-west arrangements or an odd number of modules can be easily mastered. Through natural convection the inverter is being cooled passively which assures high operational availability as the devices are less prone to malfunctions and failures.

On the basis of their high levels of efficiency and flexibility, the MT series inverters rate amongst the most effective of SolarMax products. The three-phase devices are equipped with two or three MPP trackers with an output power from 6 to 15kW. The light and compact design, as well as the easily accessible connections allow for quick and simple installation. The MT series are designed for medium sized home installations as well as for decentralized large-scale plants.

SolarMax’s S series inverters are extremely small, can be handled comfortably, and are reliable and powerful. They can be mounted very quickly and extended easily and deliver an output range of 2 to 5kW.

All inverters will also be exhibited at Solar Energy UK from October 8-10. Please visit us at Stand P60.
