INSTALLER FRIENDLY
The easier to install for a product of its category!.
Same as installing a DC string combiner box. The PV
module’s mounting structure can be used to install the
“O&M f riendly edit abile”
inverters
SIX in ONE
Saving time and cost on logistics and site preparation
(no heavy trucks and no concrete foundations required)
Operational costs reduced by quicker installation via
Installation wizard, installer app and wireless access with
any laptop and mobile device

SPD type II
Benefits:
• Increased lifetime as temperature of
components is kept under control
• Enables vertical and horizontal mounting
• Fans speed modulation, to reduce self
consumption and preserve fan lifespan
• Wiring box temperature controlled
(minimize thermal stress on fuse and contactor)
Power module can be easily replaced without removing the wiring box.
