(01.11.2005)
Santa Barbara, CA. Fronius USA Solar Electronics Division, a world
leader in power electronics, announced that it received eligibility
listing from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for its' new FRONIUS
IG 4000, IG 5100 and IG 4500-LV grid-tied inverters for the Emerging
Renewables Program Rebates.
The CEC efficiency ratings for the IG series is 94% for the IG 4000 and
IG 5100 and 93% for the IG4500-LVat each of the units' maximum
continuous AC output power: 4000 W, 5100 W, and 4500 W respectively. CEC
listing of the IG inverters can be found at http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/cgi-bin/eligible_inverters.cgi.
"With the recent completion of UL and now our eligibility for the CEC
program, Fronius is in a great position to begin delivering the new
higher output IG inverters for the growing grid-connected markets here
in California as well as other emerging markets in the United States and
Canada." says Mark Stimson, Director of Sales and Marketing for Fronius
USA - Solar Electronics Division. "The addition of these new inverters
will allow solar contractors to take advantage of a broad range of
output power that can be used to optimally design residential and
commercial systems."
Fronius recently introduced a number of new IG inverters that offer same
high efficiency, established high reliability, and intelligent thermal
management that has made Fronius a leading choice for high reliability
inverters used in grid-tied photovoltaic systems. The Fronius IG Series
now includes the most extensive range of inverters between 2 and 5.1 kW.
At 26 and 42 lbs., the FRONIUS IG inverters are between one-third and
half the weight of competing inverters. Built-in DC and AC disconnects
eliminate the need for external breakers in many cases, reducing total
system costs. FRONIUS IG inverters come standard with an integrated LCD
where the installer can view and record over 20 parameters pertaining to
inverter and system operation. Optional remote data communications and
data logging features can easily be added via Plug-n-Play cards to
transform IG inverters into a sophisticated data acquisition system and
weather station.
