Nothing on this web page yet about this small integrated inverter. But
there was some information on the Siemens system in an article and
advertisement in the Dutch periodical "Duurzame energie" (Renewable Energy)
of april 95. A Dutch company is offering this Siemens solar system with
integrated inverter. Some of its general characteristics:
- Maximum power: 110 W
- Cost: 2950 Dutch guilders (= ca. 1800 US$)
- Just plug it in the wall socket...
- 'optimal' MPP-regulation (Maximum Power Point)
- Turns off when the grid fails: no possibility of 'islanding'.
The Dutch company is called Solar Center Amsterdam B.V. and is located in
Nagele, the Netherlands (about 100 km from Amsterdam). Phone and fax
numbers: ++-31-527-652177 (telephone) or ++-31-527-652338 (fax).
