SINVERT PVM
Sunny times for photovoltaic plants from
10 kW up to the MW range
SINVERT PVM: These PV inverters put the competition in the shade
Whether for barns, schools, industrial roofs or plants in
open fields: Now you can utilize the power of the sun ef-
ficiently – with the SINVERT PVM three-phase photo
voltaic inverters. The compact wall-mounted units have
a rugged design for long service life. In converting solar
power for feeding into the grid, they achieve peak
efficiency levels of 98% and more. For this reason, they
gained top marks in the February 2011 Photon Inverter
Test. Why don’t you put your money on peak performance
power? It pays off: 98 +.

Top class inverter family
The SINVERT PVM inverters are available with power
outputs of 10, 13, 17 and 20 kW. This modularity simplifies
planning on one hand, and installation on the other:
You require fewer units and have less cabling overhead
than with conventional solutions.
Versatile, rugged and long-lasting
The compact wall-mounted units in protection class IP65
are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and for all
types of modules provided module grounding is not
required. By doing without external fans, the units are
extremely rugged and less susceptible to environmental
influences.
Plant-wide communication
The SINVERT PVM ControlBox in which the specified
power limitation is stored enables communication with
up to 2 x 31 SINVERT PVM inverters via two RS485 interfaces
– as well as connection to the SINVERT WebMonitor,
an innovative Web application for plant monitoring. This
provides you with a constant overview of the infeed
power, and allows you to check the power derating
specified by the power supply company.

The plant can be configured with and without SINVERT
ControlBox, but with a plant size of more than 100 kWp,
the EEC stipulates participation in infeed and grid security
management. Alternatively, communication can also be
configured using our SIMATIC WinCC visualization system.
Efficient monitoring – via Internet
With the SINVERT WebMonitor, the statuses of the PV
plant can be visualized, and the production and infeed
income can be displayed – from any location. In addition,
data can be archived, called up again at any time, evaluated,
and represented in graphic form. Status, warning
and fault messages are also optionally possible with our
ground-breaking Web application with multi-language,
intuitive operator interfaces.
SINVERT WebMonitor MobileApp
With the MobileApp of the SINVERT WebMonitor, it is
possible to call up the current data of the selected solar
plant at any time on the road using a smartphone or
tablet computer.
