The RAY-MAX Power Podium simplifies on-site wiring, facilitates construction scheduling, and reduces field concrete and labor expenses. Because all equipment is pre-assembled onto the platform and fully wired and tested at the Nextronex manufacturing facility, the highest levels of quality control are assured. The Power Podium offers a plug-and-play solution that requires only simple AC and DC connections in the field. Nextronex is able to offer the Power Podium configurations to match the specific design needs of the client and the site.
The Power Podium maintains all of the advantages of the Nextronex Distributed Architecture, including up to 8% more energy output, significantly higher reliability, and increased equipment longevity. The Nextronex Smart Controllers handle all master-slave coordination, control, telemetry functions, and real-time monitoring. Additionally, the low profile design facilitates center array inverter placement, minimizing shading and providing significant wiring savings.
“When we designed the RAY-MAX Power Podium, we knew our customers would appreciate the simplicity of installation and the increased efficiency, while maintaining the higher ROI that our Distributed Architecture Inverter solution provides,” says Peter Gerhardinger, VP of Technical Sales at Nextronex.
