GoodWe LVSMT-US inverter offers voltage, power flexibility for small C&I
GoodWe Technologies is expanding its commercial and industrial (C&I) solar inverter line in the United States by launching the LVSMT-US, to meet the needs of small C&I installations (think carports, schools, and retail). A key feature is the range of voltage outputs from just one SKU.
“Following the success of our SMT-US series for medium- to large-scale C&I installations, we are bringing its advanced string-inverter technology to the small C&I market,” stated Michael Mendik, Country Manager of GoodWe USA and Canada.
In order to meet a variety of capacities and local grid requirements, the LVSMT-US inverter can be easily set during commissioning to a range of sizes and voltage outputs (22/28kW 208V, 23/30kW at 220V, and 25/32kW at 240V). This can simplify ordering and eliminate the need for a costly transformer.
“This value-packed string inverter eliminates the need for costly MLPE, while still providing all of the benefits to improve the energy and financial performance over the system’s lifetime,” Mendik says. “Plus, the improved ROI that the voltage and capacity flexibility of this inverter offers is truly groundbreaking.”
GoodWe LVSMT-US overview
The LVSMT-US inverter uses the same advanced string inverter technology as GoodWe’s popular SMT-US series for medium- to large-scale C&I installations. The three-phase, low-voltage LVSMT-US inverter has 4 MPPTs to optimize power output. With its embedded rapid shutdown transmitter, the inverter meets safety standards without requiring any additional module-level hardware.
The small C&I inverter includes a number of features that improve energy production, such as a maximum efficiency of 97.5% and a CEC efficiency of 96.5%, a wide voltage operating range of 180V-950V, and 180% DC oversizing. Plus, its smart shadow scan can be activated in the event of temporary shade, removing the need for MLPE.
In addition to meeting rapid shutdown requirements, the LVSMT-US inverter includes Type II Surge Protection on both the DC and AC side, integrated AFCI, and the NEMA Type 4X rating, all ensuring reliable operation and enhanced safety.
