Abstract:
The rise of intermittent solar gives rise to the string inverters, which provides grid management benefits. String inverters are already dominant in many global markets and the use of string inverters in large-scale U.S. projects is expected to quadruple by 2025. At Eaton, we know space is always at a premium, time is limited and cost matters. For example, Eaton offers space-saving AC solar recombiner integrates circuit breakers or fuse protection and a disconnect all within one enclosure designed for solar PV string inverters.
