SUNNY CENTRAL 400HE / 500HE / 630HE

Grid Management Included

More power with lower system costs, high flexibility for system design and best future prospects: being the further development of the successful HE series, the Sunny Central 400HE, 500HE, and 630HE offer first class, state-of-the-art technology. Due to the expansion of the input voltage range, to up to 1000 volts, there is no additional cost for an EVR option. The integrated DC main distribution simplifies system technology in the field while reducing installation work. And: The new HE series inverters are the first to fulfill the requirements of the "Medium-voltage directive" valid from July 2010. The inverters stabilize the public grid, support grid voltage, and control electrical grid parameters. This makes for an investment which will continue to be worthwhile in the future.

High Yields

  • Best specific prices
  • Efficiencies above 98 percent


Flexible

  • Extended input voltage range for flexible system design
  • Integrated DC main distribution for direct connection of the string monitors
  • Versatile system configurations


Safe

  • Already fulfill today today the requirements of the new medium- voltage directive, including static grid support
  • Perfect monitoring of all PV strings in the field
