HOME TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES ABOUT CAREERS CONTACT Alencon utility solar outperforms other systems System goes beyond traditional, incremental approaches Alencon offers an award-winning architecture with the best of 3 worlds: highest central efficiency, highly effective string-level MPPTs, and highest DC bus voltage available today for standard equipment. The result: higher energy production with lower BoS costs that enhance financial viability of utility-scale solar. Want guidance on designs or estimates?Request Info Higher Energy Production In the PV array, string-level optimizers maximize power in ways not possible with traditional central inverters. DC bus voltage of 2500V (+/- 1250V) inside the array cuts line losses. Then, current-fed inverters convert DC to AC with incredibly high efficiency, over 99%. Losses are minimized by synchronous switching at 60Hz grid frequency instead of fast-chop, lossy switching of ordinary inverters. See Details Lower BoS Costs Alencon PV arrays use standard, high-volume 1000V or 600V PV modules, then boost DC voltage to 2500V inside the array to enable smaller, similar, cheaper cables on the MidV harvesting bus. This system also reduces complexity of GrIP inverters to drive total BoS + conversion costs lower. Compact, Stable Operation 2.5 megawatts in the size of a refrigerator. Using technology proven over decades of melting metal, Alencon GrIPs are designed to be rugged. Synchronous switching and liquid cooling minimize environmental thermal stresses, which is key to long, dependable operation. 2500 Volts, fixed Reduce line losses and BOS costs simultaneously Everyone agrees: Higher DC voltage means smaller cables, faster installation, lower BOS costs, and lower line losses. The Alencon system uses a fixed 2500V DC voltage, unlike common systems whose operating voltages are less than 80% of their nominal rating. Why settle for 1000V or even 1500V when you can get the highest DC voltage compatible with standard modules?
