High performance redefined
The revolutionary switching technology utilized in the Aurora inverter includes state-of-the-art for silicon Power Devices such as CoolMOS and Insulated Gate Bi-Polar Transistors (IGBTs) to reduce switching losses. Aurora has been designed with large de-rating criteria on all critical components, achieving an extremely robust and reliable inverter designed to last for 25 years and to deliver true maximum output power on a continuous basis. With this design concept, peak efficiencies of over 87% are achieved. Total current harmonic distortion, on the other hand, is typically less than 1% through the use of high-frequency switching techniques. Another exclusive advantage is Aurora's two source circuit inputs, each with its own MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) for installations with mutiple arrays.
