Solar PV Inverters
Solstice Advantages
Improving Throughput with Precision
In large-scale arrays, there may be tens of thousands of panels and thousands of strings—each subject to a wide range of variables that directly affect energy production. From panel soiling to ground faults, these variables, if left unchecked, can significantly reduce energy throughput. With its sophisticated system intelligence and comprehensive command and control functions, Solstice® detects and manages variables at the string level, ensuring that the energy generated by each string is optimized. This level of granularity keeps large-scale installations operating at peak capacity.
Bringing Flexibility to the Array
By bringing power conditioning to the string level, Solstice allows multiple solar panel technologies, brands, and vintages to reside in the same array, establishing an entirely new level of flexibility in array composition. Not only does this breakthrough open the door to better price/performance options at the design stage, but it allows an array to take advantage of the latest solar panel technologies throughout its lifetime, making upgrades possible and repairs more cost effective.
Establishing New Benchmarks for TCO and ROI
With Solstice, cost savings are achieved at every stage of an array's life. The ability to mix and match panel technologies in the same array lowers component costs and allows the array to be easily upgraded as new technologies are introduced. By conditioning power, monitoring performance, and controlling variables at the string level, Solstice keeps even the largest PV plants running smoothly and enables them to achieve maximum throughput. The result is a lower levelized cost of energy and higher return on investment throughout the entire lifespan of an array.
