Schneider Electric unveils two new solar inverters at REI Expo 2014

Schneider Electric India launched two products - Conext CL and Conext XW+ - at the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo 2014, India Expo Centre, Greater Noida in the National Capital Region. Conext CL is a new line of three-phase string inverters, while the new Conext XW+ is the next-generation version of the Conext XW hybrid inverter. Both products come from Schneider Electric Solar Business - a global leader in solutions for solar power conversion chain.

Speaking at the launch, Mr Anurag Garg, Vice President, Solar BU, Schneider Electric India said, "The Conext CL addresses a wide range of customer needs and is the ideal solution for commercial buildings, carports and decentralized power plants, while the Conext XW+ is a single solution for grid-tie backup and off-grid solar for homes, businesses and communities. At Schneider Electric, we are accelerating our investment by transferring global technology to India, increasing our local R&D capabilities and manufacturing locally in our world class facilities. The launch of these new inverters further reinforces our commitment to the Indian market."

Conext CL

The Conext CL offers high flexibility (an integrated wiring box with five configuration options gives customers installation flexibility and lowers costs by eliminating the external DC combiner box cost, and 10-to-90-degree tilt angle allows flexible mounting); easy installation and service (lightweight 45-kg inverter with detachable 16-kg wiring box makes mounting easy and fast); high ROI (98.4% peak efficiency, designed for high uptime providing customers maximum energy harvest from their solar plants); high reliability (electrolyte-free design works in harsh environment too).

Built for decentralized architecture, with full grid support features, a broad range of Schneider Electric's low and medium voltage products and industry leading system capabilities, Conext CL is backed by Schneider Electric's global service infrastructure and expertise in energy management.

Conext XW+

The new Conext XW+ is the next-generation version of the Conext XW Hybrid inverter - a hybrid inverter specifically designed for backup power for homes and businesses, residential retrofit of grid-tie solar with backup, residential self-consumption, off-grid homes and businesses, community electrification and micro-grids.

With the Conext XW+, one can simplify system installation with the Conext XW+ Power Distribution Panel, integrate Conext MPPT solar charger controllers, AC couple with compatible PV inverters, and monitor battery resources with the New Context Battery Monitor. Moreover, with Schneider Electric's new Conext ComBox, one can monitor and configure an entire system seamlessly from a PC or tablet device.
