Nextronex expands its product range with a higher capacity transformerless RAY-MAX Gen 2 inverter. The Nextronex Gen 2 inverter is designed for utility scale projects by increasing rated power capacity over 60%, therefore reducing the cost per installed watt.It is based on the same low profile cabinet as the original RAY-MAX inverter. It is equipped with a full range of grid management capabilities, and operates at world-class efficiency. Nextronex will offer the Gen 2 inverter with either the increased or original AC output range, allowing precise DC/AC matching to the solar array.
The Nextronex inverters are based on the patented Distributed Architecture, yielding excellent low light energy harvesting, higher efficiency operation and virtual 100% reliability and availability. The RAY-MAX system uses a proven technology platform based on an inverter module with over 30 years of experience in the VFD motion control industry. The Distributed Architecture system includes a complete medium voltage solution integrated in the Podium, a factory wired and tested ‘plug-and-play’ solution that requires minimal installation cost on-site.
RAY-MAX inverters provide outstanding performance in all environments, and are especially well-suited for warm and tropical locations. All electronic components are completely sealed from the elements. Due to the transformerless design, the inverters can be configured to produce even higher AC output in warmer climates, therefore reducing the cost per watt even further.
Jay Troger, CEO of Nextronex states, “Gen 2 represents a significant step in our technology development while retaining all the proven reliability of our RAY-MAX inverters. Distributed ArchitectureTM produces the highest energy yields and Gen 2 improves our value proposition even further.”
