PV Powered Inverters

 

PV Powered

PVP4800

PV Powered continues to deliver industry leading reliability and technical innovations that lower the cost of installation.  The addition of a factory-integrated AC and DC PV System Disconnect that exceeds UL and NEC requirements is exactly what you have come to expect from PV Powered.

Our inverter architecture with deep software integration and significantly lower parts count is the foundation of PV Powered’s industry-leading reliability.  Validated by sophisticated reliability modeling and rigorous endurance testing we are confident in our claim of lowest lifetime cost.

The new integrated PV System Disconnect reduces total installation interconnects from 15 to 5, eliminating common failure points.  Optimally placed knockouts provide a variety of conduit routing options with minimized bending requirements further saving on installation time and material costs.  Our robust testing of the switch mechanism to UL 98 standards ensures inspector approval.

PV Powered’s string inverters are backed by the industry’s first nation-wide ten year warranty and a service reimbursement program unparalleled in the industry.  Optional performance monitoring is available which includes low cost, secure web-based access to your system’s status and performance history.
