Engineering's new Sun Tie (ST) solar electric inverters are designed,
built and priced to make the benefits of site-generated PV power easy for
anyone to attain. The Sun Tie operates interactively with the utility,
without the use of batteries. Made specifically for new, small-scale,
independent power producers, the ST is a perfect choice for anyone
interested in participating in the emerging Green Power market. The ST is
available in four models with output capacity of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5
kVA.
Distributed
generation, using the power of the sun, is a win - win choice for the
environment, utility companies and consumers alike. With this form of
electrical distribution, solar PV power is generated and inverted at the
location where it's used. Solar electricity helps reduce the need for new
large-scale‹and often environmentally harmful‹generating stations and
distribution lines.
Consumers can
have lower electricity bills because any PV power they generate is either
used in their home or business or, when there is excess, sold to the
utility company. "Net Metering" is one way electricity is exchanged
between the power grid and solar generators. Net Metering programs are
available from many utility companies, contact your local electricity
provider for details.
All-in-One
Design
All NEC (U.S. National Electrical Code) required DC input and AC
output connections, disconnects and circuit breakers are housed within the
Sun Tie’s compact case. A built in LCD panel provides easy-to-read system
status and daily cumulative power production information.
Works With Any Type of PV Technology
The ST is designed to optimize the output from all types of solar
electric technologies. The open circuit voltage window of the Sun Tie
ranges up to 125 VDC so both conventional Crystalline
and newer Thin Film PV modules can be used.
Maximum Power Point Tracking
The Sun Tie uses sophisticated software to track and adjust the output
of the PV array. Our Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) software, which
samples once a minute, ensures complete harvest of the sun’s energy all
day long.
Expandable
Multiple ST inverters can be connected to a utility grid so that
additional generating capacity may be added in a fully modular manner.
High Efficiency, Long Life Design
The high frequency, solid state design of the ST inverter is extremely
efficient. The inverter efficiency is over 90%, with peak efficiencies of
94%. Built and designed in the U.S.A. by
Trace Engineering, makers of the worlds most reliable inverters, the Sun
Tie is sure to provide many years of trouble free service and carries a
two year warranty.
Standard
Features: Sun Tie‹Utility interactive inverter, 240 VAC 60 Hz output.
Includes factory installed DC and AC input/output breakers, combination DC
and AC lightning arrestor.
Options:
STRS‹Protective rain shield, required for out door installation of ST
Series inverters
Certifications: UL Listed‹The Sun Tie is UL Listed to UL 1741 and cUL
Listed to CSA 22.2. The ST is designed to comply with IEEE 929.
Note:
ST1000 and ST2000 models do not include PV ground fault interrupters and
PV combiner boards. Trace offers a PV ground fault interrupter (PVGFP)
which requires an enclosure (not included) and a UL Listed 10 circuit
combiner box (TCB10). Both of these items can be ordered separately.
