Solectria Renewables, a U.S. PV inverter manufacturer, announced the introduction of its new PVI 3800TL transformerless residential inverters. The new model is a 3.8-kW single-phase inverter.
The PVI 3800TL features the highest peak (98%) and CEC (97.5%) efficiencies, as compared with other major inverter suppliers. Its small, compact, lightweight design with integrated fused combiner and disconnect makes for a quick and easy installation. It can withstand the harshest weather conditions with a NEMA 4 enclosure rating.
The PVI 3800TL is the first in this new line of transformerless residential inverters. In Q2 2014, Solectria will add 5.2, 6.6 and 7.6kW inverters. These inverters will have performance specifications as impressive as the PVI 3800TL as well as dual MPPT.

I don’t quite understand Paul Koti’s comment. Transformers step voltage up or down. Inverters convert direct current to alternating current. Battery chargers convert alternating current to direct current and put it into a battery. What is with the “Wide Fluctuations”?

Hello Frank,
We marketed such inverters of APC Branded in India, Because of Wide Fluctuations the problems were more so the company has shifted to the Transformer. Pl send me the details to paulkoti@hotmail.com
