PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Chint Power Systems America will provide over 300 20kW inverters for PV installations across New Jersey.  The projects include a variety of applications that reflect the broad flexibility benefits of string inverter architecture; a single inverter design can address rooftop, carport and ground mount applications of varying overall kW capacities.
