certified by Intertek, designed to meet the highest safety
standards in the industry
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (“SolarEdge”) (NASDAQ:
SEDG), a global leader in smart energy technology, today announced
that its new high-power DC-optimized SolarEdge 330kW Inverter
system for community and ground mount solar has received UL1741-SB
certification and is now deployed with its first customer in the
U.S.

The first commissioned DC-optimized SolarEdge 330kW Inverter
system in the U.S. is a 1MW ground mount solar system that was
recently installed in Northern California, on a site owned by the
Karuk Tribe. Designed to manage and distribute electrical power
efficiently over long distances and to reduce Balance of System
(BoS) costs, the system was installed by Arizona-based EPC company,
SunRenu. The project is expected to produce approximately 1,575,000
kWh of solar energy annually and, according to SunRenu, is
anticipated to offset approximately 96% of the site’s annual
electricity use, reducing carbon emissions by around 1,018 tons per
year.
Launched in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2023 and now
commercially available, the high-power, three phase DC-optimized
SolarEdge 330kW Inverter and its complementing H1300 Power
Optimizer, enables to overcome the challenges often posed by
shading and uneven terrain on expansive community solar, agri-PV,
carports and small-to-medium scale utility PV applications. The
solution is designed to help lower the Levelized Cost of Energy
(LCOE) by yielding more energy production over the system’s
lifetime. It achieves this through 99% inverter efficiency, 2:1
Power Optimizers, 200% DC-oversizing, an integrated PID rectifier,
as well as reducing BoS costs by up to 50% with fewer and longer
strings.
"We selected SolarEdge's 330kW Inverter for the Karuk Tribe
owned site as it mitigated voltage drop which, in turn, minimized
power degradation and streamlined installation. Additionally, its
higher power output substantially decreased the number of inverters
needed, resulting in lower installation costs and balance of system
costs,” said John McDonnell, Principal, SunRenu. “This
advanced solution not only handled project-specific challenges but
also provided module-level power electronics benefits, ensuring
increased energy production, enhanced safety features and efficient
monitoring. With Safe DC functionality and voltage regulation
capabilities, SolarEdge's technology not only met stringent safety
standards but also gained trust from the local utility company,
aligning with the customer’s commitment to innovation, safety and
operational efficiency. “
Peter Mathews, General Manager SolarEdge North America,
comments: “We are pleased to bring the benefits of power
optimization, advanced safety and high-resolution monitoring to the
community solar and utility solar segment with the introduction of
our new high-power DC-Optimized SolarEdge 330kW Inverter system.
With the industry seeking solutions that improve both scalability
and economics for community solar, we anticipate that
DC-optimization will be critical in maximizing ROI and bringing
value to both investors and community solar customers.”
