Santa Barbara, CA Fronius USA Solar Electronics Division, a world leader in power electronics, announced that it received Underwriter Laboratory Listing for their FRONIUS IG 4000, IG 5100 and IG 4500-LV (208V) grid-tied inverters. These inverters have a power output of 4000 W, 5100 W and 4500 W respectively. With availability starting in January 2005, these higher output inverters meet the growing demand for inverters that better match the new, higher efficiency solar modules that are becoming available as well as the growing trend of larger residential systems.
One of the most compelling features of the new series is the Fronius MIX concept, which enables the inverters to yield increased efficiency in the part-load range while simultaneously increasing reliability and system longevity. By sharing power across two different power stages, the new FRONIUS IG inverters offer even greater redundancy than a multiple-inverter installation with all of the ease of installation and price advantages of individual, larger units.
The FRONIUS IG Series now includes the most extensive range of inverters for residential and light commercial power levels, ranging from 2.0 to 5.1 kW. Solar contractors will have the right building blocks to optimally design residential and commercial systems. At 26 and 42 lbs., the FRONIUS IG inverters are between one-third and half the weight of competing inverters. Built-in DC and AC disconnects often eliminate the need for external disconnects, reducing total system costs. FRONIUS IG inverters also come standard with the industry's most advanced LCD display where the installer and end-user can view and record over 20 parameters pertaining to inverter and system operation. Optional remote data communications and data logging features can easily be added via Plug-n-Play cards to transform IG inverters into a sophisticated data acquisition system and weather station.
