Evaluation of recent residential inverters
Seven residential utility-interactive inverters for photovoltaic power systems have been evaluated at MIT Laboratory and at the Northeast Residential Experiment Station (NE RES). Two, a Windworks Gemini and an Abacus Sunverter, have been reported on previously. Reviewed here are five other inverters: Windworks Gemini 8-kW (dc) model with an ac filter to improve the output current waveform and power factor; Acheval Wind Electronics 10-kW (ac) model, Helionetics 6-kW (dc) model; and American Power Conversion 2-kW and 4-kW (ac) models. Input and output power, power factor, current waveform distortion, audio noise and radio frequency interference measurements were made at the NE RES and the results are presented.
