Central inverters> SolutionsPV BOXThe Schneider Electric PV BOX is a pre-wired equipment package for theEuropean and North American market, specifically designed to meet thegrowing demand of large scale grid-tied solar farms and large commercialrooftop solar installations. The PV BOX is a complete solution for electricaldistribution, automation, security, monitoring and control available fromone vendor.Reduce your costsCustomers can reduce total electrical installation costs and project cycletime with the PV BOX. In addition, by placing the inverters into a structurewith a controlled environment, the PV BOX can be installed into a varietyof climates, including harsh desert environments where many future largescale 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 aprefabricated building to allow quick field wiring from both the solararrays and the utility grid connection point. Other items can be addedto the package including climate controls, security equipment, arraystring monitoring, SCADA monitoring equipment, and power metering.Custom designs are available using Xantrex GT250 E, GT250, GT500 E,GT500 MVX and GT630 E inverters.Common Features• Complete solution for electrical distribution, automation, security,monitoring and control• 250 kW, 500 kW, 1 MW and 2 MW standard and custom configurationsavailable• Integrated medium voltage transformer with dual secondary windings• Combiner Box for interconnection with PV-modules• Minimize field electrical work and minimize installation cost• Fully pre-wired turn-key solution• Insulated steel or concrete building• Combiner Box for PV cables and optimum inverter switching at lowlevel irradiance• Isolation from grid through AC and DC switching devices underunfavourable generating conditions and at night• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for optimum power extractionfrom the PV generator• Single source of procurement• Global availability and serviceCommon Options• Several configurations available upon request• Climate controls• Security equipment• Array string monitoring• Power metering38
