SolarEdge unveils inverters for smaller solar projects – SPE

Israel-based inverter manufacturer SolarEdge Technologies has announced the introduction of its new inverter for small to medium-sized utility-scale PV installations.

The company offers its SE330K TerraMax Inverter in combination with the H1300 Power Optimizers and said the new product is now available for pre-order, with first deliveries expected by the end of the first quarter of 2025.

“The new versatile solar system is suitable for varied topologies and challenging site conditions, ideal for ground-mounted sites on sloping, uneven or irregularly shaped terrains, and dual-use sites for applications such as floating PV and agricultural voltaics with trackers,” says The company reported this in a statement.

The new inverter is available in two versions: one with an AC power of 330 kW and the other with 297 kW. The maximum DC power is 660 kW and 594 kW respectively, which represents a DC oversizing of 200%. It has a rated efficiency of 99% and includes an integrated night-time potential induced degradation (PID) rectifier.

“The design supports string lengths of up to 80 modules, reducing the need for cabling and general equipment. This could lead to lower Balance of System (BoS) costs,” the company added. “It also delivers our advantages of advanced power electronics (MLPE) at the module level, including higher energy yields by overcoming module mismatch and shadow losses – especially common in bi-facial modules and vertical PV – advanced built-in safety features, as well as design flexibility.”

SolarEdge has introduced two versions of its TerraMax inverter, each measuring 1.09 meters wide, 91.4 cm high, 41.6 cm deep and weighing 175 kg. The H1300 Power Optimizers have a rated DC input power of 1,300 W and a maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) operating range of 12.5 V to 105 V.
