Peak performance made in Germany.

If you want to fly high you need the right technique. Ariane Friedrich has got just that and it landed her a place in the eternal list of world bests. Thats where you will find KACO new energy inverters, too.
Dear readers,
Finest technology made in Germany combined with utmost elegance was our declared goal when we started out to develop our new group of three phase inverters. And nothing describes the results better than our slogan: Power meets Elegance. This new generation of inverters excels not only with relentless power it also shines with its extraordinary design and the best value for money for quality made in Germany. We underline that by introducing a Deluxe line of our Powador inverters: an optional high gloss finish lends a visual quality to these inverters making them right at home in a luxurious ambience. Too beautiful to be hiding away in the cellar. Hightech doesnt need to be unattractive. As beautiful women are so often intelligent and powerful, too. KACO new energy and high jump goddess Ariane Friedrich deliver striking proof of that. Woman is the better man, so they say, and KACO has the better inverter portfolio and thats not just the looks. Sincerely,
Ariane Friedrich made in Germany.

Star high jumper, holder of the German 2,06 m record and 6 times medalist in European and World Championships.
Ralf Hofmann, CEO KACO new energy

Milestones
As the year changed from 1998 to 1999, Ralf Hofmann and a dozen employees left the old KACO group to start a separate company that was solely dedicated to photovoltaics: KACO GERTETECHNIK. With them, they brought decades of experience from KACO, which was already the worlds largest supplier of electromechanical choppers in the 50s, the predecessors of todays inverters. With one of its first series productions, the transformerless inverters, the young company launched itself into the solar age with a bang. KACO helped with the successful launch of a technology that is now standard thanks to its high efficiency. The company is now one of the largest manufacturers of photovoltaic inverters in the world and is called KACO new energy. In addition to inverters, KACO new energy supplies robust, reliable power supplies for use in industry and railway vehicles as well as on-board solutions in the area of electromobility.

Philosophy
We turn passion into power. We at KACO new energy are backing the energy turnaround 100%. And we staunchly back all of those who have committed themselves to becoming independent of fossil and atomic energy sources: In KACO new energy you have found the right partner to pave the way for the change to solar energy supply. Because there are two things you can depend on with KACO new energy: a high-quality, reliable product and a company that has internalised sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our commitment goes far beyond climate protection. Part of our corporate philosophy is to allow the lesser-privileged to share in our companys success as well. For example, we support TARGET (Rdiger Nehberg's organization opposing female genital mutilation), the Peter Maffay Foundation, and the paediatric clinic foundation "Groe Hilfe fr kleine Helden" (= "Big help for little heroes"). KACO new energy also bears a responsibility toward its employees. Their accomplishments and motivation have made our upwards climb much easier. That has been possible due to respectful, fair and open treatment of one another. Each employee is to have the courage to develop and present new ideas. Without courage there is no change, and without change there is no progress. The high quality of our products comes from the employees sense of responsibility and their sharing in the company profits. All employees are expected to take part in our quality management system, to follow defined processes at all times and to strive for progress through continuous improvements. The outstanding qualifications of our employees are an important prerequisite for the quality of our products. Because KACO new energy is known for its high standards: We provided a seven year warranty before anyone else in the business. As you can see, theres more under the housing of an inverter from KACO new energy than just technology. You get our passion as well as our commitment to people and the environment as part of the package. Does that make you feel good, and do you share our convictions? Then lets work together towards a renewable future.

The price of greatness is responsibility. We work in an industry that generates power from sunlight: a renewable energy that protects the basis for life, a sound environment. The responsibility we bear extends beyond that, however. Because of this, it is not only important WHAT we do, but also HOW we do it. That is critical for credibility. And this is why we are especially proud of our zero-emissions production, which has been attested with a certificate from Steinbeis Transfer Centre. KACO new energy GmbH purchases green electricity from Elektrizittswerke Schnau and LichtBlick AG. Thus, we not only produce clean power with the Powador inverters clean power is already incorporated in them during production. The bottom line is that we produce without emissions. In periods of high solar irradiance, our own photovoltaic systems, with 1,150 kilowatts of power themselves, supply more power than is needed in the plants. The Service Center (Plant 2) is heated with gas using a lion block heating station. The heat for the production plants (Plants 1 and 3) comes from a wood chip block heating station. KACO new energy not only generates climate-neutral power itself; according to their proofs of origin, our two certified green energy suppliers also generate power primarily from renewable energy sources, including biomass cogeneration units. Only a small proportion originates from gas-operated cogeneration. No coal-fired or atomic energy is used at KACO new energy. Our plants are located in the Neckarsulm industrial area known as "Trendpark" and in the nearby community of Erlenbach. Employees travel between the sites using bicycles. There are electric cars available for transportation. Employees who frequently travel on business receive a rail discount card (BahnCard). In order to compensate for emissions caused by business flights taken by employees, KACO new energy also participates in the international myclimate initiative (www.myclimate.org). It supports projects that lead to a direct reduction in greenhouse gases. We received the CSR Mobility Prize for environmentally aware business travel in 2010 from DMM, VCD and B.A.U.M for this commitment.

Efficient and durable Our Powador inverters cover a comprehensive output range for systems ranging from a single family house to solar parks with output in the megawatt range. The portfolio also includes inverters for island systems and extensive monitoring accessories for PV systems. Because above-average annual yields also depend on the reliability and durability of the units, KACO new energy uses only high-quality components. KACO new energy is certified by TV (a German technical inspection agency) in accordance with ISO 9001:2008, and our products are manufactured in compliance with the terms of the RAL seal of approval for solar energy systems (RAL GZ 966). Transformerless inverters from KACO new energy are available for system power ranging from 3.2 to 39 kW. This is the equivalent of AC rated power from 2.6 to 33.3kW. Our single-phase, transformer units have an AC rated power of 1.65 to 4.6kW. KACO new energy offers these models because galvanic isolation is still required in some countries. They also provide advantages for many modules. In addition, they provide solutions for situations where dimensioning is complex. Three-phase inverters The KACO new energy product range now also offers eight new three-phase inverters with medium power output. We offer three transformerless models with AC rated power of 9 to 12kVA (Powador 10.0TL3 to 14.0TL3) and models with 25 to 33.3kVA (Powador 30.0TL3 to 39.0TL3). This group is rounded off with two galvanically isolated units with 13.5 and 15kVA, the Powador 16.0TR3 and 18.0TR3. We have also added to our range of central inverters. You can now choose exactly the unit that suits your purposes from an intelligently gradated power spectrum from 100 to 500 kW AC rated power. In addition, the megawatt station will be getting a baby sister, the 500-kilowatt station. It will be presented in a 22 | 23 special, light steel housing, which will also adorn the megawatt station in the future. With our inverters, you are optimally equipped to conform to the German Medium Voltage Directive. Personal consumption and Powador-gridsave: Profit from your own consumption, become independent of the grid Since 2009, paragraph 33, section 2 of the the German Renewable Energies Act (EEG) provides for compensation for the personal consumption of solar-generated power, depending on the size of the system and the percentage of power that was used. Starting in January 2011, this ranges from 9.48 cents per kilowatt hour (100 to 500 kW of installed power) to 12.36 cents per kilowatt hour (up to 30kW of installed power)*. KACO new energy is the first manufacturer to have retrofitted its string inverters for this purpose: With the assistance of our Powador-priwatt, the inverters recognize a surplus of solar energy and ensure that your electric appliances are operated using the surplus solar power. The new Powador gridsave goes a step further: it combines the battery, the controller and the interface to the inverter of the photovoltaic system into one compact system. This turns the grid-connected PV system into a solar-fed energy centre. * subject to further amendments of the EEG

Less is More: No Transformer, Lots of Power.

The Powador 3200 6600 transformerless string inverters.
Our Powador 3200 to 6600* transformerless single-phase inverters are now equipped with digital controllers so that they can be used internationally. The appropriate country settings can easily be selected on-site; the country-specific settings are stored in the software, so the inverters can be quickly installed in any country. Users can also choose a menu language regardless of the selected country setting. The units also comply with the German Low Voltage Directive. We have changed the product names in line with this improvement. The maximum PV generator power for which the particular unit is optimised can now be read from the designation. All units operate with a full bridge without a step-up converter. Four IGBT power switches reproduce the sine-shaped voltage curve of the public power grid employing pulse width modulation. These are true single-stage, self-commutated units. However, the input voltage must be greater than the peak line voltage for them to be used. The units are equipped with a wide MPP range of 350 V to 600V. The open circuit voltage is 800 V, which simplifies the work of installers when laying out systems. The same is true for the integrated DC disconnect. Screw terminals make connecting to the grid easy. The units contain a single- or threephase monitoring system conforming to VDE0126-1-1, including an AC/DCsensitive residual current protector. The units can thus be connected to the grid without any additional measures, even in installations with several inverters. In addition, the units operate using purely passive noiseless convection cooling. The heat that is lost is, to a great degree, dissipated via the heat sink on the rear of the unit. The rest of the heat is radiated from the surface of the aluminium housing. No fans, no problems, just long service life.

The transformerless string inverter Powador 5300 supreme.
The Powador 5300 supreme* was designed with one goal in mind: The highest degree of efficiency and the highest yields. As a transformerless inverter, it already brings to the table the best possible prerequisites for reaching this goal. Its MPP range is from 350 V to 510 V and the no-load voltage is 600 V: That makes it an inverter for users who know exactly what they want.

With the standard setting, the Powador 5300 supreme works with a clock frequency of 17 kHz. For those who want to get even more from the unit, it operates in Power Boost Mode at a clock frequency of 9kHz via a jumper on the control circuit board. That reduces even further the already low switching losses of the power semiconductor and makes the degree of efficiency even higher. This
operating mode is recommended for locations where the resulting operating noise will not matter. The Powador 5300 supreme has the same basic features as the other transformerless KACO inverters (Powador 3200 to Powador 6600).

The transformerless string inverters Powador 7700 9600.
All Powador 7700 to 9600* units are equipped with digital controllers so that they can be used internationally. The appropriate country settings can easily be selected on-site; the country-specific settings are stored in the software, so the inverters can be quickly and easily installed anywhere in the world. The menu language can be selected independently from the country-specific settings. The units also comply with the German Low Voltage Directive and the Medium Voltage Directive. All three units include transformerless topology without a step-up converter. DC disconnects and string fuses are already integrated. This provides maximum safety and reliability for the system operator and makes the installers job easier. These inverters are designed as a trio, with each unit feeding into one of the three phases. This allows each unit to optimally utilise the voltage range of a photovoltaic system that has been divided into three sub-generators. The integrated Sym-Bus ensures that any potential asymmetry does not exceed the maximum permitted limit of 4.6 kW, even when there is a fault in a unit. They represent an alternative to central inverters (depending on the system design). Since all of our transformerless string inverters can also be combined with one another as required, they allow you almost unlimited freedom in planning, from 2 kW up to the megawatt class.

High flexibility. Easy installation.

The galvanically isolated string inverters Powador 2002 6002.
The inverters from the Powador 2002 to Powador 6002, with galvanic isolation, feature effortless installation, the highest degrees of efficency, and optimum operation with thin-film modules and make designing a PV system a piece of cake. Installation is problem-free: All required connections for communication RS485, S0 and fault signalling relay are located on a single circuit board in the housing and can be connected easily. The DC switch is integrated into the units as a matter of course. They achieve an outstanding efficiency of up to 96 %. Using a Powador 02 inverter, you can build your next PV installation wherever you want: The software knows the international requirements. This helps you to quickly and easily connect your PV installation to the grid simply select the appropriate country setting and display language during installation. The Powador 02 series skillfully makes use of the advantages of galvanically isolated inverters. The wide input voltage range allows you to be extremely flexible in planning your PV installation. Where transformerless units are out of the question, the Powador 02 series can handle even complex PV system designs. In addition, KACO new energy offers a generator earthing kit for this series. Thin-film modules often require generator earthing for a long service life. Moreover, the inverters can display the earthing status of the PV generator important information especially for the safe operation of thin-film modules. From third quarter on, these units will be able to feed in reactive power.

The Power Plants of the Future.

Transformerless three-phase inverters Powador 10.0 TL3 to 14.0 TL3.
Imagine perfect grid current the kind you get from large-scale power plants but from decentralised renewable sources. The Powador 10.0 TL3 to 14.0 TL3 units combine KACO new energys many years of experience in developing transformerless units with the requirement for perfect grid feed-in. Since they are true three-phase units, they provide high-quality, sinusoidal alternating current with a 120-degree phase shift a dream come true for all grid operators. It goes without saying that they meet all of the requirements of Germanys new Medium Voltage Directive (Mittelspannungsrichtlinie) and they are also perfectly equipped to comply with the Low Voltage Directive (Niederspannungsrichtlinie). These inverters give you extreme flexibility in designing your PV system. They operate using two separate MPP trackers that can handle completely asymmetric loads to allow for optimum adjustment. Each tracker is able to process all of the AC output. This allows for all typical requirements of complex designs to be fulfilled; on the one hand, for example, full configuration of an east / west-facing roof (symmetrical load) or, on the other hand, the regular configuration of a south-facing roof without having to dispense with the solar yield of a dormer (asymmetrical load). The MPP trackers can also be connected in parallel. Installation costs less (you can do not need an additional external disconnector) when strings need to be combined before the inverter. We recommend our new PV-pilot software for an optimum design. Furthermore, all 3D efficiency diagrams are available on our website to assist you. Two strings can be connected per MPP controller, therefore 4 strings for each unit. The nominal input voltage range is extremely wide: 350 to 800 V. The TL3 connects to the grid from 250 V upwards, but once in operation can continue to feed in with as little as 200 V thus ensuring that even low solar yields are reaped. The peak efficiency is an impressive 98 %, but the TL3 realises a very high partial load efficiency in the lower power ranges thanks to the innovative solution for the design and control of the inverter bridge: Even at just 5 % rated power they operate at 95 % efficiency. Cooling is provided by demand-driven fans that are aimed directly at the temperaturesensitive components. It is easy to achieve perfect communication with these units. In addition to the the normal RS485 interface, which enables you to query yield data using the Powador-proLOG, they offer highly convenient innovations: an integrated web server for uninterrupted monitoring via Ethernet, a USB connection for installing software updates and a graphic display to view operating data. The latest software updates are available at www.kaco-newenergy.de/service. With all of the equipment that is included, users no longer need a separate data logger. A number of country-specific default settings are programmed into the inverters. These are easy to select during on-site installation. Your choice of operating language is independent of these settings. The new die-cast aluminum housing makes the units compact and simplifies installation. With its elegant dimensions and low weight, this inverter has a high power density of 350 W/kg. You save money because the separation connection box makes installation extremely easy. You can find videos that quickly show you the installation procedures on our website. Naturally, our three-phase units can be combined with each other, so they are suitable for significantly higher power ratings.

Efficient Flexible Future-oriented.

Transformerless three-phase inverters Powador 30.0 TL3 to 39.0 TL3.
Based on the idea of the successful 30-kW family and the switching concept of the Powador 14.0 TL3, we have completely redesigned these units. Since they are true three-phase units, they provide high-quality, sinusoidal alternating current with a 120-degree phase shift a dream come true for all grid operators. It goes without saying that they meet all of the requirements of Germanys Medium Voltage Directive (Mittelspannungsrichtlinie) and they are also perfectly equipped to comply with the Low Voltage Directive (Niederspannungsrichtlinie). These inverters give you extreme flexibility in designing your PV system. They operate with three separate MPP trackers that can also handle asymmetric loads to allow for optimum adjustment. Each tracker is able to process 20 kW. This allows for all typical requirements of complex designs to be fulfilled; on the one hand, for example, full configuration of an east/west-facing roof (symmetrical load) or, on the other hand, the regular configuration of a southfacing roof without having to dispense with the solar yield of a dormer (asymmetrical load). We recommend our new PV Pilot software for an optimum design. Furthermore, all 3D efficiency diagrams are available on our website to assist you. 1 or 4 strings can be connected for each MPP controller depending on the version, therefore 3 or 12 strings for each device. The nominal input voltage range is extremely wide: 350 to 800V. The TL3 connects to the grid from 250 V upwards, but once in operation can continue to feed in with as little as 200 V thus ensuring that even low solar yields are reaped.

The central inverters of the Powador XP series are the first choice when it comes to usability and return on investment. State-of-the-art, DSP-based technology offers highest performance, reliability and efficiency. A digital interface enables user-friendly operation, maintainability and highly advanced monitoring and communication. The unique control of power electronics clearly increases the switching efficiency of the power transistors: Depending on the input power that is currently present, one of several pulse-width modulation methods is used. This means higher levels of efficiency and better yields. The Powador XP series guarantees highest reliability due to the use of a secondary backup power supply for the control board, and a highly efficient cooling system for critical components. The fans are monitored and operated based on load and ambient temperature. The devices excel with a powerful, userfriendly digital interface. The all-inclusive concept allows convenient operation and monitoring without requiring any additional equipment. A clearly structured, large TFT LCD color touchscreen shows detailed operating data in several languages. You can also monitor your plant via the internet. This feature allows permanent monitoring of all critical components. The error tracing function reports potential error statuses of the units immediately and sends diagrams that guarantee rapid localisation of the source of the error. The Powador XP central inverters meet global standards with just the push of a button the parameters can be adjusted to meet local rules and regulations. You can also select from a variety of menu languages independent of the country of installation. In addition, the central inverters Powador XP100-HV to XP250-HV come with a transformer and are ready for immediate use.

Separate monitoring for each string
Intelligence in a box.
For connecting large solar fields to our central inverters, we recommend the use of an intelligent generator junction box (GJB) our Powador Argus string monitoring box. Versions 16S DCS and 24S DCS make ideal companions to Powador XP series central inverters. This is the ideal companion to Powador XP series central inverters and is available in several versions to meet the requirements.
Powador Argus
Powador Argus string monitoring boxes.

For 16 or 24 strings With the Argus, the PV generator can be monitored in detail, faults are detected and are directly evaluated using the Powador-proLOG. Of course, the string fuse and overvoltage protector are included. Yet another feature: the string current can be read directly in the box. Field use has shown that the dimensions of DC lines can vary greatly due to the long cable lengths in systems with central inverters in the upper power range. Thus, the integrated bolt terminals provide universal connection options for various cable diameters. The communication line is connected using spring terminals. All cable connections are located on the underside of the unit and ensure that neither dirt nor moisture can enter, even if the unit is installed improperly.

The KACO Maximizer powered by Tigo.

KACO Maximizer ES | EP | MMU.
KACO Maximizer
The KACO Maximizer system consists of two main components: the Maximizer, a electronic component which is mounted directly on the module, and the Maximizer Management Unit, which represents the higher-level intelligence of the system. The KACO Maximizer optimises the output power for each module, delivers all the relevant operating data for each module in real time, and allows you to disconnect each module for safe installation, maintenance, or when fighting a fire. The Maximizer Management Unit (MMU) communicates with all of the module Maximizers (wirelessly), controls all processes in real time, and sends the operating data to an external server. This sums up to an online system monitoring for any number of users. The yield-increasing principle of the system is based on intelligent impedance adjustment for the output of each individual module, so that the best possible performance for the entire string is achieved even when the respective output powers are mismatched.
Depending on the size of the PV-plant a Maximizer system normally contains one MMU. For bigger PV-plants additional MMUs might be necessary. The MMU has a manual operating interface and a liquid crystal display, which is mounted in a housing (with protection rating IP65) for on-site programming. The MMU is mounted next to the inverter and communicates with each PV module in the system via the Maximizer. It provides management and control functions for the module Maximizers and serves as an interface to the data centre. The MMU is preconfigured with a CAT-5 Ethernet connection. It contains the PV safe switch a unique, local safety function which is located on the front side of the MMU. If maintenance is to be performed or in the event of an emergency, the operator or emergency personnel can press this button to disconnect all modules on-site (patent pending). PV Safe allows you to electrically disconnect each module from the string, thereby limiting the risk of electric shock, since only the no-load voltage of a single module is present (at the most). This function can be activated with the on-site safety switch or from an external control console. There is no danger of high voltages when then system
is being installed or maintained or in the event that a fire on the system must be extinguished. Fast, external access to the data of the MMU is possible from any computer that has an Internet connection. This allows installers, operators or emergency personnel to view all of the system data. Easy-to-read graphics allows for quick analysis of real time output and the power of the individual system that is behind it. They also help you to see and fix system failures, error codes, or warning messages.

Stand-alone inverters KI 250 KI 1000 KI 2000
Top performance even in difficult situations.

The stand-alone sine-wave inverters of the KI series.
The future belongs to decentralised power generation, especially in areas without a reliable public power grid. Stand-alone inverters allow local power grids to be formed in which any kind of AC consumer can be operated. The requirements placed on stand-alone inverters are high: conversion efficiency, high overload ability, tolerance to fluctuations in battery voltage and an economical operating state ... None of this is a problem for our KI series standalone inverters! They supply power independently under extreme conditions in areas remote from the grid. The KI series consists of galvanically isolated units with MOSFET semiconductors. They convert the DC voltage (e.g. 12 V, 24 V or 48 V) of a battery into AC voltage with 230V / 50Hz or 100V / 60Hz. You can even run sensitive electronics like energy-saving light bulbs or laptops with them. Using our stand-alone inverter is often more economical than purchasing low performance 12 V DC units. Caution: solutions with modified sinusoidal voltage (trapezoidal or triangle form) or square wave voltage can even damage sensitive appliances. The schematic diagram shows the modularly expandable system of the DC coupling with an external or integrated charge regulator.

Energy that makes your day.

reCUBE
The reCUBE (re: renewable energies) has been designed specifically for use in remote regions where public utility grid infrastructure does not exist. It is a mobile power supply unit, which in contrast to other common systems works without diesel generators and is fully powered by renewable energy sources. Using a PV generator, it converts sunlight into current and subsequently stores it in a battery bank. The system also includes a wind generator, which compensates for the lack of solar energy at nighttime or during months of reduced solar irradiation. The heart of the system is a KACO new energy standalone K 3000 inverter, capable of providing short-term peak power of 9 kW. Typical weaknesses of concept have been reCUBE is a turnkey perfectly adapted to the stand-alone eliminated. The system that is our customers requirements. The implementation of stand-alone systems was unsuccessful in many cases because components were just thrown together, did not match, or were not compatible. Compared to grid-tied systems, decentralized energy supplies are more difficult to plan, construct and operate. Therefore, it seems to make more sense to adapt a system to customer requirements and make it available to them as a fully configured unit: plug and play. On-site installation does not necessarily require skilled electricians: The system can be constructed by three people in a matter of hours using only basic tools. The reCUBE is available in different versions, which are individually adapted to customers needs. You can chose the number of modules to adjust the power of the PV generator to your needs. Furthermore, you can order the reCUBE with different battery sizes. As a rule of thumb, regions with high solar irradiation require lower battery capacities (for details please refer to the table of technical data below). Additionally, we offer an automatic bypass switch to integrate the reCUBE into an existing or future local grid. The reCUBE checks on the actual energy supply of the grid and will take over as soon as the local grid is unable to provide energy.

The new Powador-gridsave system.

Enhance the value of photovoltaic systems and become independent.
Schematic overview of all components in a Powador-gridsave system. Full solar power supply flexible and secure Now there are no more hindrances for environmentally friendly power around the clock and in case of grid failures. The Powador-gridsave system stores solar power during the day and provides it for later use. The time gap between power generation and power consumption is closed by the Powador-gridsave. The Powador-gridsave is an energy storage system that is intended for integration into new photovoltaic systems as well as existing ones. It combines the battery, the controller and the interface to the inverter of the photovoltaic system into one compact system. Independence from the grid A stable power supply seems to be taken for granted, but even in Europe power failures show that this appearance is deceptive. Conventional grid-connected photovoltaic systems cannot guarantee a secure supply at the present time, since grid feed inverters are disconnected from the grid for safety reasons when there is a power failure. The integration of the Powador-gridsave into a grid-coupled system remedies this situation. The gridconnected PV system is turned into a solar-fed energy centre. In case of a power failure, the Home Energy Manager automatically switches the in-house grid to standalone mode and disconnects the photovoltaic system from the public power grid. It is now used as an energy source that directly supplies the user or charges the battery station.

If you install a system with a rated power of more than 100 kW, you must ensure that the grid operators can control the feed-in power remotely. This is specified by the current German Renewable Energies Act (EEG). With Powador inverters, you are on the right side of the law. KACO Power Control is the new software that keeps law and order. And all KACO new energy feed-in inverters are equipped with this technology. In addition to this new feature, the Powador-proLOG XL data logger is equipped with an additional circuit board to protect the digital inputs. The grid operator issues the command to reduce output to a radio ripple control receiver. It is equipped with four relay outputs that handle the systems rated power in terms of 0%, 30%, 60% and 100%. The data logger translates the signals from the switching output of the radio ripple control receiver and sends a control command to the inverters via RS485. For example, when a signal of 60% is received, the inverters limit the maxi-

KACO Reactive-PowerControl
The standard for generation plants connected to the medium-voltage grid, or BDEW medium-voltage directive for short, requires active network support through the PV systems. KACO new energy has the perfect solution: KACOReactive-Power-Control (KRC). This feature is available as standard in PowadorproLOG XL devices. The medium-voltage directive requires an adjustable range for cos phi from 0.95 inductive to 0.95 capacitive. To achieve these values even on the system level, all Powador inverters have an adjustable cosine phi from 0.8 inductive to 0.8 capacitive. As of 1 April 2011, the mediumvoltage directive in Germany applies for all systems with direct connection to the medium-voltage grid. The following features for controlling reactive power must be applicable according to the standard: active specification via radio ripple control receiver

Fixed defaults based on the specification of the transmission grid operator

Fixed specification for reactive power Q Fixed specification for the cos phi power factor Control of reactive power based on target rated power Q (V) Control of cos phi power factor depending on the current cos phi system power (P)
Reactive power Q as a percentage of the systems rated power Fixed specification for the cos phi power factor
All fixed specifications of the transmission grid operator can be set directly using the display in the Powador inverter. In addition, it is possible to set anything from large PV systems to PV power plants easily and automatically from one location using Powador-proLOG XL. This saves you from the tedious manual setting of the inverter, and you will always have an overview using this central control element. Should your grid operator require an active specification through the radio ripple control receiver, you will be on the safe side with the Powador-proLOG XL and Powador inverters and will be able to meet the full spectrum of requirements of the medium-voltage directive. With Powador-proLOG XL, combined control using KACO Power-Control and KRC is no problem. The adaptation to other national directives is in full swing. Powador-proLOG XL offers worldwide advantages for system planning.

Powador-web.
Comprehensive alarm notification and visualisation.
Powador-web is an Internet portal that allows for a comprehensive evaluation and visualisation of photovoltaic systems together with the Powador-proLOG. The password-protected portal allows you to have secure and worldwide access to your system data. As administrator, you can configure which data is displayed. All data received from Powador-proLOG is evaluated, including all electrical inverter data as well as analogue and digital values of the connected sensors. A connected solar sensor makes it possible to relate the actual local irradiance to the current yields of the PV system. Measured values of the ambient and module temperature sensors provide information on the behaviour of your modules and any yield losses due to module temperatures that are too high. You can obtain curves for all DC and AC values, such as current, voltage and power, from the inverter data. You can compare these values to those of other inverters and draw conclusions about the behaviour of your PV systems based on the characteristic curve. All values can be displayed in day, month or year view. Additionally, you can zoom into the day view and detect the smallest deviation in the curve. The target/actual comparison is a highly advanced instrument of Powador-web system evaluation. The target curve is not based on annual projections derived purely from statistics, rather it is fed satellite data that is updated daily. This provides you with a meaningful target curve that you can compare to your actual yields. For large systems and PV power plants, several administrator levels allow you to assume management tasks and to provide an additional service to your customers. Furthermore, you can configure alarm conditions and the type of messages. You are also free to select the recipients of the e-mail, SMS (text message) or fax. The report function makes it possible to generate detailed data tables and send them automatically in intervals the entire time period. Powador-web diagrams can be included on your own website for a one-off charge. Highlights

Powador PV-pilot.
The free system design program.
Powador PV-pilot is a free program that is used for professional design and yield simulation of grid-connected photovoltaic systems. This program replaces its predecessor, KACOcalc Pro. Calculations are based on the technical data of all KACO new energy inverters, several thousand PV module types and irradiation data in the form of average hourly values for the most important PV markets over the last ten years. You can use Powador PV-pilot to design your entire system either based on the module types that are already stored or using certain modules that you enter yourself. You can also calculate the projected yield and the loss from AC and DC lines, including the loss during singlephase and three-phase feed-in. The program is available in English, German, Spanish, Italian and French and is compatible with the Windows operating system.
Start page of Powador PV-pilot. You have the choice here between two dimensioning modes, Quick Mode and Expert Mode, or you can open a project that already exists.
Powador PV-pilot offers you the following functions:

PV generator The database comprises 7.000 PV modules from which you can freely select your manufacturer and module type. If your module is not included, you can easily add new modules using an entry form. The modules you add are retained after updates. Inverter Powador PV-pilot enables you to search the entire inverter database of KACO new energy to find the appropriate inverter. You can easily filter your results for transformerless or three-phase units, among other things. Design You can find out which Powador inverters are suited for your system based on module type and number of modules. The power of the modules in relation to the inverter power, the MPP voltage at high and very low module temperatures, and the system voltage of the modules are taken into account. Wiring The program automatically calculates the recommended conductor crosssection for the PV system you have selected. In addition, the cable paths can be freely defined. The system displays the cable losses on the DC and AC sides as calculated using the maximum amperage and a minimum power loss of 1percent. For cable loss on the DC side, the generator junction boxes, Powador Argus and Powador Mini-Argus are also factored in. Yield The average hourly values for a year are stored for each location. The specific, annual and total yields are calculated using a high-resolution average minute value synthesis of this data. The resulting performance ratio is also displayed. The projected yield is dependent upon the orientation and inclination of the modules, the temperature and the geographical position of the site. The projected yield is a conservative estimate that is normally surpassed during actual operation.
Quick Mode allows you to achieve a professional dimensioning result for your PV modules and your Powador inverters. You can switch from Quick Mode to Expert Mode at any time and keep all of your settings.
Expert Mode lets you configure your dimensioning in detail. Up to four sub-systems with separate PV modules and separate PV areas can be wired together. You can adapt the dimensioning of your inverter to your requirements and calculate the exact wiring losses. 100 | 101 100 | 101

Large scale systems

Top yields are the result of a high degree of efficiency and constant fault-free operation. Our Powador central inverters for a generator power of between 30 to 550 kW are extremely reliable devices. You dont have to be on the planets sun belt to get high yields. Naturally this is good news for all installation operators and investors in solar industry stocks: Large solar parks are not only good for the environment, they are also a secure and lucrative financial investment.
