Siemens India launched with Sinacon PV a new generation of photovoltaic (PV) central inverters with an output up to 5,000 kVA. The inverter is part of the Siemens new electrical Balance of Plant (eBoP) solution for PV power plant installations.

The state-of-the-art Sinacon PV inverter will be locally produced and manufactured at Siemens' Kalwa plant near Mumbai for the domestic market as well as for export into the region. The Indian renewable energy sector is the second most attractive renewable energy market in the world Crossing 14 GW of already installed solar capacity, the Government is firm on its ambition of 100 GW of installed solar generation by 2022.

Harald Griem, Executive Vice-President and Head of Energy Management, Siemens Ltd, said "Siemens is committed to partner the Government in its endeavour to increased use of clean energy sources. The National Solar Mission of the Government aims to establish India as a global leader in solar energy. Siemens aspires to contribute to this with local value-addition in line with Make in India."
