Description
The flagship Samurai series has a new cooling system for extreme temperatures and a multilevel topology that cuts switching losses by 56 %. At 1500 V it covers the 2500, 2700, 3200 and 3360 kW classes, and at 1000 V 1833 kW / 2000 kVA and 833 kW / 916 kVA. The Solar Ware 3200 (PVH-L3200GR) with MPP 875–1300 V and efficiency of 98.9 % is built in a NEMA 3R enclosure to UL 1741 / IEEE 1547, and its hybrid heat pipe cooling needs no fans up to 40 % load. The compact PVH-L2550E and PVH-L2220E for indoor use give 1.4 MVA/m² at IP21 and 98.8 % efficiency, have a built-in DC box, a night-time reactive power mode and IEC 62109-1/-2, IEC 61000-6-2/-4 and CQC certificates. The Solar Ware 1000 delivers 1000 kW with efficiency up to 99 %, and the 490–750 kW models at 600/1000 V with IP20 are built to the Japanese JEC standard. The in-house three-level IGBT topology reduces losses and the size of filter reactors, and a recorder writes fault waveforms to an SD card.
How to choose
First determine the DC field voltage, and the 1500 V option reduces the weight of cables and the number of combiner boxes and inverters per project. A wide MPPT range makes it possible to design a high DC/AC ratio. Then look at the standard and installation place, that is UL and NEMA 3R for an open site or IP21 for an inverter building. For a PV plant with storage there is the PCS at ±2500 kW, and a smaller power step is given by the Solar Ware Ninja at 800–880 kW.

FAQ
What is the highest power of a Solar Ware central inverter?
The largest class of the 1500 V Samurai series has 3360 kW, and the Solar Ware 3200 (PVH-L3200GR) is among the largest central inverters in this voltage class.
What grid functions do Solar Ware inverters support?
Regulation of power factor, active and reactive power, ride-through of voltage and frequency dips and built-in anti-islanding protection. The plant controller manages a fleet of up to 255 inverters.
How do the ER and GR versions of the Solar Ware 2700 differ?
The ER is built to IEC with protection rating IP44 or IP54, the GR to UL in a NEMA 3R enclosure. The efficiency of both versions is 98.8 %.
Do Solar Ware inverters derate in hot weather?
The indoor PVH-L2550E and PVH-L2220E deliver full power without derating up to 50 °C ambient air.
