Solutions
PV BOX
The Schneider Electric PV BOX is a pre-wired equipment package for the
European and North American market, specifically designed to meet the
growing demand of large scale grid-tied solar farms and large commercial
rooftop solar installations. The PV BOX is a complete solution for electrical
distribution, automation, security, monitoring and control available from
one vendor.
Reduce your costs
Customers can reduce total electrical installation costs and project cycle
time with the PV BOX. In addition, by placing the inverters into a structure
with a controlled environment, the PV BOX can be installed into a variety
of climates, including harsh desert environments where many future large
scale solar projects are planned.
What components make up the PV BOX?
The PV BOX typically consists of solar inverters, DC combiner boxes,
step-up transformers and a medium voltage switch housed in a
prefabricated building to allow quick field wiring from both the solar
arrays and the utility grid connection point. Other items can be added
to the package including climate controls, security equipment, array
string monitoring, SCADA monitoring equipment, and power metering.
Custom designs are available using Xantrex GT250 E, GT250, GT500 E,
GT500 MVX and GT630 E inverters.
