By Niranjan Mudholkar,

Added 05 January 2018

Sinacon PV inverter will be locally produced and manufactured at Siemens’ Kalwa plant near Mumbai for the domestic market as well as for export

A solar PV inverter converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network. The Sinacon PV is equipped with 3 level IGBT modules, has an outdoor design for harsh environments with fluid cooling and can operate up to 60°C ambient temperature.

As a leading supplier of transmission, distribution and smart grid solutions, Siemens intends in addition to the inverter manufacturing also a local assembly of medium voltage inverter stations. The new Siemens inverters and medium voltage inverter stations target large scale, ground mounted solar PV power plants, comprising of comprehensive eBoP solutions. The eBoP solution enables solar power to be intelligently integrated into the grid. The portfolio includes all electrotechnical equipment needed. Siemens offers complete end-to-end planning, engineering, and financing, all the way to commissioning and service, including optimum interconnection of energy storage systems and even complete microgrids.
