Chinese solar giant ReneSola is set to attend Intersolar (Booth A1.560) in Munich from June 19 to 21. ReneSola will take the opportunity to show off the PV modules from its European and global production facilities. The company will also feature its Micro Replus microinverter, which helps installers cut costs and will reopen opportunities in the market of partially shadowed rooftops.
ReneSola is beginning to push its safe, cost-effective microinverter into the European market. The product has been designed in the US to match any future technical requirements of on-grid installations around the world. Due to its cost-effective manufacturing in China, ReneSola is looking to gain a vital stake in Europe’s inverter markets, as well.
“Module prices are going up. This is pressuring the balance of system costs and will stimulate the demand of reasonably priced inverters,” says Xianshou Li, CEO of ReneSola. “We have a golden opportunity to change the face of the inverter market with our widely certificated inverter products.”
Microinverters are changing the game
With the Micro Replus microinverter, costs related to advanced planning of PV installations are drastically reduced because problems from shadowing are a thing of the past. With a microinverter on every module, PV modules can be installed easily wherever they fit without complex wiring. With Micro Replus, energy output can increase by an average of 16%, compared to traditional string inverters, and potential lifetime increases to at least 25 years. ReneSola’s one-box solution includes everything required to install and run the system. And with ReneSola’s additional communication gateway, each module can be supervised at home or via the internet.
During Intersolar, ReneSola will also show its Virtus and Virtus II poly-crystalline modules, the world’s finest poly-crystalline PV modules based on ReneSola’s proprietary ingot casting process. Virtus produces the same power as a standard mono module but at lower production cost and with lower LID issues, as well as reduced power loss at higher temperatures. Virtus II builds upon those advantages, delivering 4% higher performance than ordinary poly-crystalline PV modules.
