Fronius introduces its pv inverters into the United States
(08.03.2003)
Fronius International announces that it will be introducing its
highly successful grid-tied photovoltaic inverters - the FRONIUS IG
series - into the United States this year.
Fronius is a world market leader in the field of high frequency power
electronics and welding technology and one of the largest suppliers of
grid tied PV inverters in Europe.
The IG inverter, introduced in European markets in 2001, has quickly
gained market share due to its advanced Plug-n-Play topology which
offers high efficiency, precision MPP-tracking, and active cooling, all
of which result in superior energy production from photovoltaic systems.
At 31 lbs, both the IG 2000 and IG 3000 inverters are half the weight of
competing inverters. Advantages are reduced shipping costs, reduced
material consumption and easier and safer installation. FRONIUS IG
inverters come standard with a LCD user interface/display where the
installer and user 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.
FRONIUS IG inverters are currently undergoing UL testing and
certification and will be available from US distributors and dealers by
the end of 4th quarter 2003. Fronius is already present in the US with
an office in Brighton, Michigan and will be establishing a west coast
office to support and service US inverter sales. Therefore Fronius is
currently seeking qualified candidates for sales, management and
technical positions.
