FRONIUS IG inverters receive CEC and NYSERDA listing
(03.15.2004)
Santa Barbara, CA. Fronius USA Solar Electronics Division, a world
leader in power electronics, announced that it received eligibility
listing for two state level incentive programs. The FRONIUS IG 3000, IG
2000 and IG 2500-LV grid-tied inverters have qualified for the
California Energy Commission (CEC) eligibility listing for the Emerging
Renewables Program Rebates as well as the New York State Energy Research
and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) photovoltaic funding programs.
The CEC ratings for the IG series is 94% at each of the units' maximum
AC output power: 2700 W, 2000 W, and 2350 W for the IG 3000, IG 2000,
and IG 2500-LV, respectively. CEC listing of the IG inverters can be
found at

NYSERDA's approvals can be found at

"With the recent completion of UL and now our eligibility for these two
state programs, Fronius is in a great position to begin delivering the
IG inverters for the growing grid-connected markets in California and
New York." says Mark Stimson, Director of Sales and Marketing for
Fronius USA - Solar Electronics Division. "Knowing that Fronius has
successfully completed eligibility for the CEC and NYSERDA programs will
allow local installers to take advantage of great features and benefits
that these inverters offer."
The FRONIUS IG inverters offer high efficiency, precision MPP-tracking,
and intelligent thermal management, all of which result in superior
energy output from grid-tied photovoltaic systems. At 26 lbs., the
FRONIUS IG inverters are less than 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.
Fronius USA has also begun its installer and dealer training at their
Santa Barbara office. For more information on upcoming classes, visit
