Welcome to Power-One

Welcome from Dr Alex Levran

As President of Power-Ones Renewable Energy Solutions, I am excited to showcase our broad array of products and services for the Solar and Wind markets.

Power-One has a long-standing history in the global power electronics industry, providing a four-decades strong foundation for our technology innovation, quality and service within the Renewable Energy industry.

If you are new to our products, we off er the full range of photovoltaic and wind products, from small residential inverters to large utility-grade units. From the contents of this brochure, you will fi nd that we off er a diverse range of solutions to meet the needs of every installation.

At Power-One, our objective is to be the best-in-class for on-time delivery, reliability and yield. Since 2009, our company has risen from the number nine position amongst the worlds solar inverter manufacturers to the number two global position, shipping 2.6 GW of inverters in 2010. With our global presence, including design, manufacturing, sales and service in Asia, Europe and the Americas, we off er fl exibility, regionally specifi c products and rapid manufacturing and service response times for our customers throughout the world.

Our broad array of Aurora products off ers industry leading effi ciency and reliability, providing customers with a technologically advanced product that produces higher yields than our competitors. In fact, Photon Magazine said our European 10.0kW three-phase inverter, which received their A+ rating, takes its place among the top devices Photon Lab has tested so far.

Coupled with our innovative technology, we also provide our customers with excellent pre- and post-sales service. This ensures their orders are not only correct to their specifi cation before they receive the product, but that they also have an effi cient care package for increased uptime throughout the life of the inverter. This enables us to be more of a partner than a supplier to our customers, as we like to think of ourselves as our customers manufacturing arm no diff erent than if we were within their organizations.

On behalf of a very hard working team, we are looking forward to working with you as we provide our leading design, technology and service to meet your renewable energy needs. I encourage you to contact Power-One Renewable Energy Solutions team so that we can be the supplier of choice for all of your future renewable energy projects.

With best wishes

Dr. Alex Levran, President, Renewable Energy Solutions

New Products & Product Benefits

This global catalogue introduces a certain number of new products to the Power-One Aurora range. So far we have installed products totaling more than 4 GW of power globally. We have redesigned the smallest of our residential inverters, the new UNO 2 kW single phase inverter. A new look inverter from both a style and technology standpoint, it is high performing, extremely robust, easily installed and features a new user interface. Other important news includes two new string inverter products for large roof top applications, TRIO-27.6 and TRIO-20.0, three-phase inverters outputting 27.6 kW and 20.0 kW respectively. These products fi ll a gap between our previous 10.0 kW and 12.5 kW three-phase products and our smallest Central inverter products (50kW and 55kW). This new design of inverter benefi ts from three-phase inverter technology perfected in the PVI-10.0 and 12.5, probably the worlds most commonly used three-phase inverter which has led the way in best-in-class effi ciency. Power-One is also launching the new ULTRA, our biggest inverter with an output of up to 1.4MW featuring passive liquid cooling. This new concept in large scale utility inverter features an IP65 enclosure, high performances, minimum footprint, low maintenance and Power-Ones traditional modular approach. All this plus a low operational cost benefi t for our customers.

Key Features of the Aurora product range Power-Ones Aurora products compare favorably with the competition for the high innovation content and key features which are the stronghold of our offering. The wide working input voltage range can accommodate any panel string size, allowing installers to buy their inverter with confidence knowing the Aurora inverter will suit whatever installation they have on their books. The wide input range also allows a low power of activation to extend the daily working time of the inverter. The Aurora inverters also feature a rugged IP65 construction to fit any type of installation without putting restrictions on where and how the inverter should be installed. Maximum power-point trackers (MPPT) allow you to accommodate sub arrays with different orientations or made up of different PV panels. This technology also allows the installation designer to know that any incidents of partial shading will be overcome by the MPPT technology creating the optimum power curve for energy harvesting. Modular central inverters, used for large commercial and utility scale applications, allow a reduction in downtime caused either by the failure at the inverter level or the photovoltaic field. This eliminates plant shutdown, the reduction of repair time and consequently financial benefits in terms of production.At Power-One, we aim high so you can too.

The new Aurora 300 Watt micro-inverter product off ers something new to Power-One customers. The ability to individually link all modules within a specific installation is an alternative to the traditional Aurora string inverters Power-One is famous for.

Micro-inverters have some advantages over string inverters. They allow you to control the panels output individually and off er Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for each single module.

They also allow you to control individual panels in diff erent ways and reduce the losses in efficiency in a variety of challenging conditions.

Power-Ones new Optimizer products use DC-to-DC technology to help maximize the energy harvested from solar installations.

Normally, within each array, the solar panels are usually joined together in a serial pattern. This creates issues if one panel fails as this reduces the energy being produced by the entire installation. The Optimizer maximizes the energy from each module within a string as they optimize the voltage/current for any given weather conditions.

The Optimizer also maximizes energy harvesting in panels suff ering from partial or temporary shading. This helps installers to create the largest installations possible andincrease Return on Investment (ROI).

The smallest of Power-Ones Aurora PV string inverters, this unit is designed to be housed indoors as opposed to many of its outdoor counterparts.

This small residential string inverter will work most eff ectively with small photovoltaic residential installations. This very compact, slim, lightweight and easy-to-install inverter off ers a very cost eff ective entry point for users new to photovoltaics or in need of a simple power inverter solution.

The inverter off ers a range of benefits, including maximum energy harvesting, through both its high-speed Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) and transformerless technology. The important parameter is the wide input voltage range making the inverter suitable to low power installations with reduced string size. The graphical display allows users to check real-time performance through its integrated data logger.

The most common residential inverter is the ideal size for an average-sized family home. This family of single-phase string inverter complements the typical number of rooftop solar panels, allowing home-owners to get the most efficient energy harvesting for the size of the property. This rugged outdoor inverter has been designed as a completely sealed unit to withstand the harshest environmental conditions.

One of the key benefits of the Uno family of single-phase inverters is the dual input section to process two strings with independent MPPT especially useful for rooftop installations with two diff erent orientations (ie East and West). The high speed MPPT off ers real-time power tracking and improved energy harvesting.

The transformerless operation gives the highest efficiency of up to 97.0%. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to low power installations with reduced string size.
