Kstar Showcases Latest 1500V PV Inverters at Green Energy Expo 2021

KSTAR, a leading global supplier of inverter solutions, showcased its popular 1000V and 1500V inverter solutions at the Green Energy Expo, held from 28 to 30 April. The company also presented comprehensive photovoltaic inverter solutions, attracting many visitors to its stand.

The International Green Energy Expo is one of Asia's leading exhibitions for photovoltaic and renewable energy technologies. Despite the COVID-19 outbreak, 223 companies from 16 countries participated, showcasing their latest technologies and solutions. As one of the world's top 10 solar inverter brands, KSTAR presented its latest innovations at the exhibition, including the three-phase KSG series.

KSTAR's KSG-110SL-KR 110 kW inverter, which has received KS certification, is a DC string inverter designed for distributed commercial PV systems and large-scale centralised PV power plants. It features a 20 cm clearance between the output terminal block and the cable earthing point, making installation more convenient. The inverter is designed to accommodate 60 pi-class cable earthing, facilitating cable connections while taking voltage drop into consideration and helping reduce installation costs.

The KSG-250UH photovoltaic inverter is a three-phase inverter with a maximum DC voltage of 1500 V, designed for large-scale applications. This transformerless 250 kW inverter offers a maximum efficiency of 99% and a European efficiency of 98.5%. It features 12 maximum power point tracking (MPPT) channels and 24 string inputs, with an MPPT voltage range of 600–1500 V. The inverter operates at ambient temperatures ranging from -25°C to 60°C.

South Korea's photovoltaic industry has grown rapidly, supported by increased government investment and policy initiatives. In 2020, the country added 4.1 GW of PV capacity, while solar energy projects attracted approximately US$3.6 billion in investment, a 71% increase compared with the previous year. In response to these industry trends, KSTAR has been stepping up its efforts to expand its presence in the Korean market and support the country's renewable energy targets.

"We will continue to strengthen the development of cutting-edge products and services in the market," said Mr King, Sales Manager of KSTAR's Korea office.
