Yaskawa Solectria Solar Introduces Made in America String Inverters

Featuring commercial and utility-scale inverters

LAWRENCE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Inverters—Yaskawa
Solectria Solar, the leading U.S. commercial PV inverter
manufacturer, introduced its new Solectria SLX line of American made
inverters for commercial and utility-scale applications.

Yaskawa Solectria Solar’s SLX
inverters are engineered and manufactured in United States, and are
designed to achieve unmatched quality and reliability. Each individual
component of the inverter is carefully selected and tested to perform
reliably beyond the expected 20-year life of the inverters. This new
product line will transform the 1000VDC commercial and 1500VDC
utility-scale market by setting new standards in quality and reliability
and vastly improving PV inverter uptime performance.

“Yaskawa’s quality and reliability testing are unlike anything the PV
industry has ever seen. Since Solectria Renewables was acquired by
Yaskawa America in 2014, we have incorporated Yaskawa’s quality
methodologies into our PV inverter design and production processes,”
said Phil Vyhanek, President of Yaskawa Solectria Solar. “The SLX 1000
and SLX 1500 have endured testing to ensure that each individual
component as well as the finished product will last beyond 20 years. PV
project developers, owners, and EPCs will appreciate the new level of
inverter reliability and durability, which drastically lowers the cost
of installation and O&M, while increasing power production."

The SLX 1000 inverters are offered in 60 and 65 kilowatt (kW) power
levels and the SLX 1500 inverters are offered in 125 and 166 kilowatt
(kW) power levels. They offer wireless HMI and connectivity, reducing
the cost of installation and commissioning. Various options for the
integrated combiner include fused or unfused inputs as well as PV
connectors.

“Yaskawa understands quality and reliability, as demonstrated over the
past 100 years in all of our power electronics equipment. We are the
only drives and motion control manufacturer to win the Deming Prize for
excellence in Total Quality Management. This flagship, premium inverter
line reflects the high quality and reliability that is built in to every
other Yaskawa product,” said Mike Knapek, CEO of Yaskawa
America, Inc.

Yaskawa Solectria Solar will be exhibiting at Solar
Power International in Las Vegas, Nevada September 10-13 where they
will showcase the SLX 1000 and SLX 1500 inverters in booth #3783.
