4 FAQs about 1500v photovoltaic inverter research and development

Will 1500V be used in the residential sector?

Use of 1500V systems in the residential sector is not anticipated within the foreseeable future. Alongside the increased adoption of 1500V, the utility-scale PV sector has increasingly turned to 'string' inverters over recent years.

Will a 1500V inverter be a big deal in 2020?

In fact, IHS Markit predicts that outside of China (which has been relatively slow to adopt the technology in comparison to international markets), 1500V products will account for 84% of high power PV inverter shipments in 2020, in comparison to just 11% four years previously. What are the challenges?

Is 1500V a good choice for roof-top PV systems?

While 1500V is becoming the standard in large-scale PV systems, the adoption in roof-top systems is lagging behind. In such systems, the deployment of 1500V is limited by safety standards, building codes and electricity regulations.

Which projects have utilised 1500V technology?

A large number of notable projects which have utilised 1500V technology, including the 300 MW in Sakaka, Saudi Arabia, which grabbed headlines in 2018 for signing a record breaking agreement to sell electricity for ~$2.3c/kWh (Halala 8.78/kWh).
