SMA Solar Technology AG Is First Non-Japanese Manufacturer to Receive JET
Certification for Three-Phase Inverter
Niestetal/Tokyo, October 2, 2013 - The Japan Electrical Safety&Environment Technology Laboratories (JET) certified the Sunny Tripower
10000 TLEE-JP for sale on the Japanese market. This makes SMA Solar
Technology AG the first non-Japanese inverter manufacturer to sell a
three-phase JET-certified device in Japan. The inverter specially designed
to meet the demands of the Japanese market is now available.
'Measured by market volume, Japan is one of the world's most attractive
markets, and the U.S. market research company IHS estimates that it will
also be the photovoltaic market with the strongest sales in 2013. Now that
the Sunny Tripower has received JET certification, we can cover all market
segments in this important market from small residential PV systems and
commercial applications to large-scale PV power plants,' explains SMA Chief
Executive Officer Pierre-Pascal Urbon.
The three-phase Sunny Tripower 10000TLEE-JP is designed for commercial PV
plants with an output of more than 10 kilowatt-peak. It offers a peak
efficiency of 97.8 percent, which is unmatched in its class. Its robust
enclosure for outdoor installations offers excellent protection against
dirt, water and salt-containing atmospheres. The inverter's connection area
is adapted to Japanese conduits.
Since last year, in addition to the Sunny Tripower 10000TLEE-JP, SMA has
also offered JET-certified Sunny Boy inverters for residential PV systems
as well as Sunny Central inverters tailored to local requirements on the
Japanese market. And this fall, the county's largest PV power plant
equipped with SMA inverters and plant monitoring solutions will go into
operation. 'We expect continued strong growth stimuli from the Japanese
photovoltaic market. With our sales and service company in Tokyo as well as
our highly efficient inverters across a range of power classes precisely
tailored to the demands of the Japanese market, we are extremely well
positioned here in all segments,' says Pierre-Pascal Urbon.
