The company claims that the inverter with system wide intelligence, Edge MPPT performance optimization and industrial-grade engineering, delivers an efficiency of 98.5% and offer high levels of system wide performance, uptime and reliability.
The company further claims that Equinox offering comes complete with a NEMA 3R/IP54 enclosure and is available in three separate climate packages, enabling the industry’s widest thermal operating range with fully rated performance at temperatures as high as 55 Celsius / 131 degrees Fahrenheit, and as low as -20 Celsius / -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The company added that building upon its PowerGate inverter family, Equinox provides system wide energy harvest and solar plant yield, enabling Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
Equinox’s utility ready features enable remote control of real and reactive power, ride through and power factor control. The inverter provides for simplified grid interconnection and can be integrated into SCADA systems through standardized communication interfaces, the company added.
Steve Rhoades, president and CEO of Satcon, said: “The next generation of utility scale solar power production demands a new set of solutions that continue to deliver higher levels of system wide performance, intelligence, and reliability.
“For the past 25 years, Satcon has established a leadership position as the solution of choice for the world’s most advanced solar installations, including the largest rooftop solar plants in North America, Europe, and China as well as the largest ground mounted projects in Canada and China.
“Equinox continues this tradition of solution innovation and will enable large scale solar owners and operators with a stepped improvement in the performance of their plant assets.”
