For the 30MW Bison Solar PV project located in Wellington, Colorado, USA, developer juwi selected to use 12 units of Toshiba Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation’s (TMEIC’s) new 1500V Solar Ware® Samurai Inverters.
TMEIC’s new 1500V inverter is the latest addition to its portfolio of PV utility-scale solar inverters for industrial markets. The 1500V Samurai inverter features a maximum efficiency of 98.8% and hybrid cooling system. It reduces cable mass when being installed so that the product helps minimize cost, combiner box and number of inverters. PV plants using 1500V Samurai inverters will enjoy a higher flexibility when being designed.
"We are excited about the opportunity to supply our newest Samurai Series PV inverters for juwi's Bison Solar project in Colorado," said Donn Samsa, TMEIC general manager renewable energy. This supply marks juwi’s first order for TMEIC’s 1500V inverter from an agreement signed in 2015 for several PV projects.
The 225-acre site will generate enough electricity for powering approximately 7,800 local homes. The commissioning is scheduled for later in 2016.
