Schneider Electric’s off-grid solar and backup power inverter

April 2015 Electrical Power & Protection

Schneider Electric Solar Business, a global leader in solutions for the solar power conversion chain, has released its off-grid solar and backup power inverter/charger, the Conext SW, in the southern African region.

Conext SW represents a technological step forward for Schneider Electric’s off-grid solar product offering by providing pure sine wave output inverter/ chargers in power ranges of 4 kW and lower. Pure sine wave technology provides clean, uninterrupted power that can effectively run modern electrical appliances and equipment.

Every Conext SW is a 24 VDC system with selectable 50/60 Hz functionality. It is available in 230 VAC, and stackable up to 8 kW.

The Conext SW is ideal for off-grid solar, backup power and small community electrification applications. Breaker panels and accessories are available to build a complete system that communicates through simple network architecture.

Associated with the brand-new ComBox, operators of the Conext SW systems can now monitor yield performance using devices of their choice, such as personal computers, tablet devices, or building management systems. Installers can change the settings of Conext SW device during commissioning and react 24/7 to system alerts remotely.
