Challenge PV inverters are power electronic equipment that is used in the field of solar power generation, converts the direct current generated by PV modules into alternating current fed into the local load or grid, and has the relevant protection function. According to different occasions, PV inverters can be divided into grid-connected inverters and off-grid inverters. PV inverters differ largely in power level, ranging from more than 100 watts for distributed gridconnected micro-inverters to hundreds of kilowatts for centralized grid-connected large inverters. Different grid systems and grid-connected policies in countries around the world involve many testing and certification standards for grid-connected PV inverters, complex requirements, and a longer cycle.

European market

With the popularity of the green energy-saving and environmental protection concept, PV products have become a significant concern, showing a trend of rapid development in the domestic and international markets. Governments around the world have increased their domestic policy support for PV grid-connected power generation projects. As the core components of PV power generation applications, grid-connected inverters, which are closely related to power generation efficiency, have a great market potential. Faced with such a good opportunity, it has become an urgent problem for Chinese manufacturers to obtain certification in countries around the world in the shortest possible time and quickly grasp business opportunities.
