Featuring high quality components and conservative design to ensure long reliable working life, Omron’s new KP100L photovoltaic inverters for solar power applications incorporate three independent maximum power point trackers (MPPTs). This ensures that they deliver the greatest possible output power under all conditions, thereby providing users with a fast return on their investment in solar energy.
Suitable for fixed solar power installations from 10 kW up to Megawatts, as well as for solar tracker solutions, KP100L inverters are versatile and easy to use. They are compatible with all major types of crystalline photovoltaic panel where grounding is not required. This eliminates the problem of matching the inverter to the panels in use.
The MPPTs used in the inverters feature innovative circuitry, designed and developed jointly by Omron and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. This circuitry makes it possible to combine wide input voltage range and large peak output power with high efficiency, ensuring that the best use is always made of the power provided by the panels. In addition, it also means that differently aligned PV strings can be connected to the same inverter without compromising overall efficiency.
To complement its new inverter range, Omron offers a comprehensive range of products and solutions suitable for the control and monitoring of PV plants. This makes it easy to implement smart control systems for solar tracking and versatile facilities for the remote control and monitoring of individual or multiple solar power installations.
