HOME TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES ABOUT CAREERS CONTACT ALENCON AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECTURE Combines proven conversion technology with modern electronics and system controls To maximize energy production reliably while lowering system costs, Alencon combines the highest central efficiency, distributed maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and highest voltage DC bus compatible with standard solar PV modules. Want guidance on system design?Request Info GrIP inverters offer industry leading efficiency: 99.5% 60Hz switching and Harmonic Neutralization maximize energy output Current-fed inverters convert DC to AC with incredibly high efficiency – over 99% on average. Losses are minimized by switching at 60Hz grid frequency instead of 1000’s of Hz in ordinary inverters. Slower switching means lower losses, enabled by Harmonic Neutralization, an elegantly simple, patented technology. Greatest Granularity with Distributed SPOTs 4 MPPTs per Unit Distributed SPOTs minimize impacts of uneven soiling, cloud cover, sporadic damage, differences in irradiance, and module degradation, while maximizing power and boosting bus voltage up to a fixed 2500V for aggregation. Quick and easy to install, SPOTs reduce labor costs, O&M, and BOS costs while increasing kWh/kW production. VIEWS The visual SCADA system VIEWS provides a complete overview of your PV plant at a single glance. It graphically displays voltages, currents, PV string performance, semiconductor temperatures, control board temperatures, and more, with easy to understand visuals. An accurate model of your installation populated with performance data will be of use for future sales, demos, diagnostics, and engineering support. Harmonic Neutralization The high efficiency alternative to PWM Low frequency switching creates higher harmonics in the output current of each GrIP. These are eliminated through the application of Harmonic Neutralization (HN), which acts like noise-cancelling headphones for unwanted harmonics. It is implemented by staggering the output of each unit with respect to others in the inverter system, each with its own optimal shift in phase. The output currents from all units are then paralleled in a step-up transformer, where opposing amplitudes cancel each other out leaving only the near perfect 60Hz sinusoidal waveform that is supplied to the electric grid.
