LTI ReEnergy Announces Sales Release of UL-Compliant Inverters with Ampt Mode®

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LTI ReEnergy GmbH today announced the sales release of UL1741/IEEE1547/IEEE1547.A compliant PVmaster-Station inverter with Ampt Mode® for the North American solar market. The inverter is available at power ratings ranging from 500kW to 3MW.

The Ampt Mode variant of LTI ReEnergy inverters refers to a higher and narrower input voltage operating range that makes it possible for the inverters to deliver a 43 percent higher rated output power than the same inverter without Ampt Mode. Getting more power from the inverter lowers its cost per watt.

The new LTI ReEnergy inverters are deployed with Ampt String Optimizers, which are DC/DC power converters that put voltage and current limits, as well as two maximum power point trackers (MPPT), on each string. This optimized system has twice the number of modules per string and half the number of combiners and cabling to save on electrical balance-of-system (BOS) costs.

"At LTI ReEnergy, we're fully committed to providing our customers with best-in-class, tailored solutions that make it possible for them to lower the cost and increase the performance of their photovoltaic (PV) systems," said Stephen Shirey, Vice President Photovoltaic North America at LTI ReEnergy. "The release of our UL-compliant inverter with Ampt Mode is a valuable step forward for us in North America, for projects where these standards are a requirement."

Based in Germany, LTI ReEnergy develops and supplies inverter solutions in the range of 250kW up to 4MW turnkey stations for utility and large-scale PV power plants. The intelligent architecture of the inverters reduces transportation and installation costs. The company is highly regarded for its award-winning innovations, having recently been recognized as a "Top 100" company at this year's German SME Summit.

"Through our collaboration in the HDPV Alliance, LTI ReEnergy and Ampt are working together to help our customers achieve greater returns in their PV systems by lowering the cost per watt of systems on day one," said Levent Gun, CEO at Ampt. "Obtaining UL certification for their inverter with Ampt Mode opens up the joint solution to an increasing range of customers and applications."
