    RELIABILITY
    The PVI 1800 & PVI 2500 provides industry leading reliability. One look at the automated production and PCB assembly inside the inverter shows its industrial quality. Rigorously designed and tested for the harshest conditions, the PVI 1800/PVI 2500 proves to be consistently reliable.

    EASY TO INSTALL
    The PVI 1800 & PVI 2500 can be installed easily and quickly, both indoors and outdoors. With a weight of 35 lb. (16 kg) (compared to an average 70 lb..(32 kg) for a typical inverter) the PVI 1800 & PVI 2500 is very easy to handle. The inverters also include ‘pre-wired’ AC and DC cables for quick wiring at the job site without opening the inverter!

    SAFETY
    The PVI 1800 & PVI 2500 has been tested to the UL1741 standard and meets all the requirements. An important selling point of this inverter is the galvanic isolation, which increases both reliability and safety.

    EASY TO OPERATE: PLUG AND PLAY
    With the PVI 1800 & PVI 2500, Solectria once again confirms its innovative reputation. With LCD display and auto detect RS 232-485 as standard equipment, there is true 'Plug and play' capability This gives the PVI 1800 & PVI 2500 a PC interface with excellent monitoring and data acquisition capability.
