Fenice Energy launches microinverters for high-power solar panels

Fenice Energy has introd­u­c­ed micro-in­v­erters desi­g­n­ed for both re­sidential and commercial solar set-ups. The XT36, a three-phase microinverter designed for commercial solar installations, delivers a maximum output of 3,600 VA. Eight high-power modules are connected to a single unit. Designed to align with solar modules ranging from 315 Wp to over 670 Wp in power output, the XT36 boasts a maximum input current of 20 A. The maximum efficiency is 97 per cent, while the nominal maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency stands at 99.9 per cent. Reactive power control enables enhanced management of spikes in solar power in the grid. The XT36 weighs 7 kg and has dimensions of 359 mm x 273 mm x 56 mm. The YS18, designed for residential solar set-ups, offers a maximum AC output power of 1,800 VA. It links to four solar power modules arr­anged in a 2×2 series. Engineered to synchronise with modules with up to 670 Wp+ output, the YS18 features an input current of up to 20 A. It has a peak efficiency of 97 per cent, with a nominal MPPT efficiency of 99.5 per cent. The YS18 weighs 4.3 kg and has dimensions of 284 mm x 234 mm x 50.2 mm. Silicone is used for protecting the components of the XT36 and YS18 microinverters in order to minimise electrical stress, promote heat dissipation, improve waterproof characteristics and guarantee optimal system stability.
