Welcome to Power-One
This global catalogue introduces a certain number of new products to the Power-One Aurora range.
So far we have installed products totaling more than 4 GW of power globally.
We have redesigned the smallest of our residential inverters, the new UNO 2 kW single phase inverter. A new look
inverter from both a style and technology standpoint, it is high performing, extremely robust, easily installed and
features a new user interface.
Other important news includes two new string inverter products for large roof top applications, TRIO-27.6 and
TRIO-20.0, three-phase inverters outputting 27.6 kW and 20.0 kW respectively. These products fill a gap between
our previous 10.0 kW and 12.5 kW three-phase products and our smallest Central inverter products (50kW and
55kW).
This new design of inverter benefits from three-phase inverter technology perfected in the PVI-10.0 and 12.5,
probably the worlds most commonly used three-phase inverter which has led the way in best-in-class efficiency.
Power-One is also launching the new ULTRA, our biggest inverter with an output of up to 1.4MW featuring passive
liquid cooling. This new concept in large scale utility inverter features an IP65 enclosure, high performances,
minimum footprint, low maintenance and Power-Ones traditional modular approach. All this plus a low operational
cost benefit for our customers.

The new Aurora 300 Watt micro-inverter product offers something new to Power-One
customers. The ability to individually link all modules within a specific installation is an
alternative to the traditional Aurora string inverters Power-One is famous for.
Micro-inverters have some advantages over string inverters. They allow you to control the
panels output individually and offer Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for each single
module.
They also allow you to control individual panels in different ways and reduce the losses in
efficiency in a variety of challenging conditions.
Features
Electrolyte-free power converter to further increase the life expectancy and long term reliability
Outdoor enclosure for unrestricted use under any environmental conditions
Increased energy harvesting thanks to the MPPT algorithm which works at the level of each solar
panel in any light condition
input terminations
95.5% of efficiency
Ease of installation by the implementation of a package inclusive of proprietary wireless
communication hub and grid interface
Reduced susceptibility to fault. In case of a component failure only the energy produced from
one PV module will be lost
Up to 10 micro inverters directly connectable in a string

OPTIMIZER
Power-Ones new Optimizer products use DC-to-DC technology to help maximize the energy
harvested from solar installations.
Normally, within each array, the solar panels are usually joined together in a serial pattern.
This creates issues if one panel fails as this reduces the energy being produced by the entire
installation. The Optimizer maximizes the energy from each module within a string as they
optimize the voltage/current for any given weather conditions.
The Optimizer also maximizes energy harvesting in panels suffering from partial or
temporary shading. This helps installers to create the largest installations possible and
increase Return on Investment (ROI).
Features
Ability to mitigate PV panel mismatch
High efficiency up to 99.5%
Single panel MPP tracker compatible with all Power-One inverter models
Ease of installation by the implementation of a package inclusive of proprietary wireless
data communication

The most common residential inverter is the ideal size for an average-sized family home.
This family of single-phase string inverter complements the typical number of rooftop
solar panels, allowing home-owners to get the most efficient energy harvesting for the size of
the property. This rugged outdoor inverter has been designed as a completely sealed unit to
withstand the harshest environmental conditions.
One of the key benefits of the Uno family of single-phase inverters is the dual input section to
process two strings with independent MPPT especially useful for rooftop installations with two
different orientations (ie East and West). The high speed MPPT offers real-time power tracking
and improved energy harvesting.
The transformerless operation gives the highest efficiency of up to 97.0%. The wide input
voltage range makes the inverter suitable to low power installations with reduced string size.
Features
Each inverter is set on specific grid codes which can be selected in the field
Single phase output
Dual input sections with independent MPP tracking, allows optimal energy harvesting from

as apartment buildings and industrial facilities. These extremely scalable modular inverter
systems, based on 50kW conversion modules, increase usable power and improve availability.
The reduction of performance in any individual inverter will not impact the energyharvesting capabilities of other modules.
Industry-leading power conversion efficiencies of up to 95.8%, combined with high-speed
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) channels, optimize energy harvesting across a
wide array of operating conditions. Inverter systems are delivered pre-configured and
pre-tested, significantly reducing on-site wiring and testing.
Features
Reduced susceptibility to a single fault. In case of a component failure, a maximum of 50kW
will be lost
Reduced acoustic noise due to the high switching frequency
Reverse-polarity protection minimizes potential damage caused by array mis-wiring
Maximum input voltage up to 600Vdc, high design flexibility and reduced DC distribution
losses for large scale PV plants
Integrated DC and AC distribution and protection. Fully equipped for connection,
additional accessories not required
Easy installation and maintenance procedure. Front extractable DC/AC converters and
accessibility to all critical parts
High efficiencies deliver more energy
Two independent RS-485 communication interfaces - for inverter and intelligent string
combiner monitoring
Integrated DC disconnect switch for each 50 kW module AC and DC side integrated
protection (fuses and OVR) easily replaceable
Integrated fuse grounding kit with ground-fault detection and interruption (GFDI)
compliant to UL1741

AURORA WIND
Following the growing demand for wind power and the market trend to introduce higher
power turbines using In Line Technology, the Power Converter Unit will be a real core
component of the turbine permanent magnet generator system in the following
years. OEMs need to reduce the installation cost per kWh and the trend of developing high
specialized components manufactured to specification brought Power-One to introduce
the new Large Wind 2.5MW inverter module.
Power-Ones inverter module has been developed to meet the highest technology needs
where the turbine interface the grid, having an innovative IGBTs based design that
incorporates Power-Ones Industry Leading Technology for Renewable Energy Inverters.

Medium Voltage
With larger turbine unit sizes, medium-voltage converter systems are most
suitable for the corresponding high power.
Power-One inverter module is designed to answer this requirement and
will help OEMs to reduce the size of the turbines and reduce the cost of
the system itself.
The Power-One inverter is designed to work in parallel for larger Wind Turbines of 10MW and potentially above.
Power-Ones inverter module is introducing a new concept of flexibility
in this Power Converter environment industry and can be matched and
completed with a passive or active rectification stage depending on the
wind turbine OEMs needs.
The Power-One inverter module is specifically designed to meet the requirements coming from offshore and onshore
applications and is equipped with an original designed Liquid Cooled system.
The extremely-integrated design of the inverters (2mx2m) cabinet works very effectively in a marine environment by
providing protection from water, oil, and gas. One of the most important benefits for a power converter located in a difficult
offshore area is to ensure reliability while allowing for quick and easy maintenance. Power-Ones modularity design concept has
been implemented in order to fulfill this critical task.
