Central Inverters
SUNNY CENTRAL- High Tech for solar power stations
We have developed the Sunny Centrals specially for use in large PV power stations and open-field plants. Hence they possess completely special properties. String monitoring, capacity for teamwork and the ability to feed into the medium-voltage power grid make them first choice for PV systems with homogenous structure.
Sunny Central 250 / 250HE / 350
Direct connection to the low-voltage grid
The proven Sunny Central 250 and 350 allow operators of medium and large-scale PV power stations to achieve excellent solar yields, especially in ground-mounted systems or roof systems with homogeneous structures. The central inverters have 5, 8 or 12 fused inputs for the DC distribution boards and several devices can be connected together on the AC side, making megawatt systems possible. Whereas the Sunny Central 250 and 350 feed directly into the low-voltage grid, the Sunny Central 250HE can be connected directly to a mediumvoltage transformer.
