REFUsol presents solar inverters and monitoring tools at Clean Energy Council Week

REFUsol, a manufacturer of solar inverters, is showcasing its 5, 10 and 20 kW inverters and innovative accessories for monitoring PV systems at Clean Energy Council Week in Sydney from 26-28 July 2012.

With a rated AC power of 19.2 kW, the compact inverter REFUsol 020K can be smoothly integrated into solar installations to help reach maximum output. The inverter belongs to the 8-20 kW series that is specifically made for rooftop systems and solar parks, from 8 kW up to multimegawatts.

The high-end inverter REFUsol 020K-SCI, featuring silicon carbide (SCI) technology and a peak efficiency of 98.7%, was recently tested ‘A+’ and is ranked in a top position. Featuring good MPP-tracking and a wide input voltage range of up to 380 to 850 V, the REFUsol 008K - 020K reaches a peak efficiency of up to 98.2%, even at a low irradiation level. Based on this high efficiency, heat is dissipated by convection cooling. Thanks to low-voltage fluctuations against earth, the transformerless device can also be used for numerous thin film modules.

In addition, the company is showcasing its newly revised monitoring tool REFUlog. The web-based portal is available in both basic and pro versions and supports operators in controlling and analysing the efficiency of PV plants. Due to optimised email reports, the monitoring of PV installations has become even simpler - as the display of additional parameters as well as new export functions were also added. Moreover, the statistic functions were optimised in the basic version and even more comprehensively in the pro version. Further additions to the portal will follow within the next months.

In the course of the makeover, the REFUlog app has been updated as well. It now includes tabular statistics and a new user-friendly view in landscape format for charts and graphics. Furthermore, specific sorting and filtering configurations as well as current values per plant and solar inverter can now be displayed.
