Detailed Description
Designed for residential and small commercial PV installations, this inverter fills a specific niche in the Aurora product line to cater for those installations producing between 5kw and 25kw.
This inverter has all the usual Aurora benefits, including dual input section to process two strings with independent MPPT, high speed and precise MPPT algorithm for real-time power tracking and energy harvesting, as well as transformerless operation for high performance efficiencies of up to 97%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to low power installations with reduced string size. This outdoor inverter has been designed as a completely sealed unit to withstand the harshest environmental conditions.
High Efficiencies Across a Broad Range of Operating Conditions
PVI-5000 and PVI-6000 inverters provide 208/240/277 Vac selectable outputs, at up to 97% efficiency (CEC 96.5). The graph to the right demonstrates the high efficiencies, across a continuous range of input voltages and load conditions, for the PVI-6000. The graphs below depict the industry-leading performance of all models at three discrete MPPT-voltage reference points, and a continuous range of load conditions.
