Contact SupplierThe PVS-175-TL is ABB’s innovative three-phase string inverter, delivering a six-in-one solution to enhance and optimize solar power generation for ground mounted
utility scale applications.
High power density
This new high-power string inverter, with the largest high power density within the 1500 Vdc segment, delivers up to 185 kVA at 800 Vac and can achieve an ultra-high-power density of 1.3 kW/kg. This not only maximizes the ROI for ground-mounted utility-scale applications but also reduces Balance of System costs (i.e. AC side cabling) for small to large scale, free field ground mounted PV installations.
Design flexibility
The inverter comes equipped with 12 MPPT, the highest available in the market, assuring maximum PV plant design flexibility and increasing yields also in case of complex installations.
Installer friendly design
Quick and easy installation, thanks to plug and play connectors, as the existing PV module’s mounting systems can be used to install the inverters, thus saving time and cost on site preparation and hire of plant.
The fuse and combiner free design eliminates the need for external components, such as separate DC combiner boxes and AC first level combiners, thanks to the integrated DC disconnect and AC wiring compartment with optional AC disconnect.
The Advanced Cooling Concept preserves the lifetime of the system and minimizes O&M costs thanks to internal heavy-duty inverter cooling fans. These can be easily removed during scheduled maintenance cycles whilst the power module can be easily replaced without removing the wiring box.
Advanced communication for O&M
Standard wireless access from any mobile device makes the configuration of inverter and plant easier and faster. Improved user experience thanks to a built-in User Interface (UI) enables access to advanced inverter configuration settings. The Installer for Solar Inverters mobile APP and configuration wizard enable a quick multi-inverter installation and commissioning thus reducing the time spent on site.
Fast system integration
Industry standard Modbus (RTU/TCP)/SUNSPEC protocol enables fast system integration. Two Ethernet ports enable fast and future-proof communication for PV plants.
Protect your assets
Monitoring your assets is made easy, as every inverter is capable to connect to ABB cloud platform and thanks to the state-of-the-art cybersecurity and Arc Fault Detection option, your assets and profitability are secure in the long term.
