Product level: family

The Solectria PVI 25TL-480-R from Yaskawa Solectria Solar is a grid-tied, three-phase, grid-following PV string inverter for commercial or utility-scale sites, with a 1000 VDC input class and 480 VAC output. The datasheet gives a maximum efficiency of 98.5 percent, and maximum PV current is 45 A per zone and 90 A total. It must be used with floating or ungrounded PV arrays only, and it suits rooftop, carport and ground-mount installations; it is not intended for micro-grid or off-grid use, and the manufacturer does not support AC-coupled systems. Communication uses Modbus over RS-485 for third-party monitoring, and the interface can be reached over Wi-Fi from a smart device through the FOMlink wireless antenna. SolrenView monitoring needs the optional Ethernet Network Card, which also gives automatic firmware updates, remote diagnostics and technical support access over the internet. A shade cover is required if the inverter is mounted lower than 75 degrees from horizontal, because it reduces temperature derating. The enclosure is rated NEMA 4X, but an unpowered unit left outdoors for more than 90 days can collect condensation on the heatsink. Inspect the power head before applying DC or AC power, or a short circuit can result.
