KACO new energy has two exciting projects in the works, which will use its solar inverters. Here’s a quick look at them.
San Antonia, Texas
A seven phase utility solar project known as Alamo is well underway in San Antonio, Texas. The project, which will total 400 MW when completed, is expected to produce enough power for 10% of all San Antonio homes (roughly 70,000).
As former mayor and current Secretary of Housing & Urban Development, Julian Castro’s “Vision for 2020″ initiative brings together KACO new energy inverters, developer OCI Solar Power, municipal utility CPS Energy, and EPC Mortenson Construction to erect one of the largest, utility-scale municipal solar energy projects in the United States.
KACO new energy will be rolling out its 2-MW integrated power station for the final three phases of the project. The skid will consist of two 1,000-kW solar inverters, one medium voltage transformer and the auxiliary power rack.
Palo Alto, California
KACO new energy also helped bring 397.5 kW to the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto, California. Other project partners included Think NRG. Tigo Energy and its power optimizers, Trina Solar’s panels and Cobalt doing EPC work.
KACO new energy will also soon offer the transformerless, single phase, residential inverter TL1. The company says the compact design and entire composite enclosure will completely eliminate the need for equipment ground connections thus saving the installer on time and cost. Further advantages include multiple communication features for connection to third party monitoring & native support for Powador Web; as well as a 2 mppt offering on most models.
