Integrated AC and DC PV System Disconnect

PV Powered inverter-integrated AC/DC PV System Disconnect is listed to the UL 98 Standard. The UL 98 Standard, called “Enclosed and Dead-front Switches” ensures the integrated PV Powered disconnect meets all installation and inspection requirements of a PV System Disconnect. Housed within an NEC Compliant wire raceway, PV Powered’s innovative disconnect consists of one enclosure with generous working room for installation. In addition to providing a single point of connection from the utility service and PV array, the wire raceway’s optimized knockout locations also provide options for side, bottom and back entry with minimized conduit bending. The wire raceway enables flush side-by-side mounting, eliminating the need for extra equipment and resulting in a cleaner, less expensive installation.

Disconnect Features include:

• Listed to UL 98 Standard for use with PV Powered UL 1741 Listed string inverters
• Single AC/DC switch visible and lockable in the OFF position
• NEC Compliant internal wire raceway enables flush side-by-side mounting
• Direct-to-wall surface enclosure design allows for easy access and installation

PVM1010 Data Monitoring Module

Monitoring is available and includes secure web-based access to the system’s status and performance history. The PVM1010 monitoring option helps maximize system uptime and performance. The PVM1010 module integrates into the inverter and, along with the secure Internet-based server, is equivalent to stand-alone data logging meter and communication interface. Reports of power output and energy production trends, local weather conditions and forecasts, and export of data for service and maintenance planning are available over the Internet.

Monitoring Features include:

• Low cost, integrated design
• Remote monitoring over the Internet
• No charge for monitoring service

PV Powered Solar Inverters are designed and manufactured in the U.S., are fully compliant with the Buy American Act, and qualify for projects funded by the federal stimulus package.
