Power-One, Inc. (PWER) Two Inverter Product Lines Receive Certification to UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 Standards

Power-One, a prominent supplier of renewable energy and energy-efficient power conversion and power management solutions, announced today that it has received certification to UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 standards for its new ULTRA 780kW, 1.17MW, and 1.56MW central inverters and TRIO 20.0kW and 27.6kW commercial string inverters. Power-One’s ULTRA and TRIO products are currently being distributed commercially in Europe and will begin shipping in the United States in Q1 2013.

“We are pleased that our liquid-cooled ULTRA series of central inverters and the new TRIO string inverters designed for the U.S. commercial market have received certification to UL 1741, as this validates their safe operation for commercial and utility scale PV installations,” said Alex Levran, President, Renewable Energy Solutions Group, Power-One. “The ULTRA, with its game changing technology designed to drive down the levelized cost of energy, began shipping in the fourth quarter of 2012 and has commissioned sites in Italy, Germany, Greece and the U.K.”

“Our TRIO product family of inverters for the commercial market has been a great success in Europe, shipping nearly 1.3 GW in 2012, its first full year in the market,” continued Levran. “And, as the first 1000v string inverter in the U.S., it is set to redefine the commercial segment as we know it today.”

Power-One has worked to optimize energy harvesting, lower the total plant investment, and minimize maintenance in order to maximize the return on investment for PV commercial and utility plant owners. The company’s inverters maintain operation at the peak power point of the array through the use of the Power-One maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The ULTRA and TRIO’s wide input voltage range delivers maximum energy harvesting through a broad range of module temperature and insolation levels. Additionally, both inverters have received NEMA 4x environmental ratings, making them the only products in their class with such a prestigious distinction.
