Power-One Aurora PVI-6000: Photovoltaic and wind converters use two MPPT channels

The Aurora PVI-6000 photovoltaic and wind-inverter series uses two high-speed, independent MPPT (maximum-power-point-tracking) channels to allow energy harvesting in installations with multiple photovoltaic arrays pointing in different directions. Available energy increases in the grid-tie devices by using transformerless designs, providing a 97% conversion efficiency. Features include a laptop-free configuration using front-panel-mounted buttons, true sine-wave outputs with self-selecting voltage capabilities, and less than 3.5% typical total harmonic distortion. Providing grid-connected operation certified to international standards, the Aurora PVI-6000 series costs $5500.
