115V/60hz Solar Grid Tie inverter

System · September 2009

Dear members,

We are searching for a 500W-700W, 115V/60Hz solar inverter for the Suriname market.
Can anyone help us to find a fine, reliable inverter to be send to The Netherlands?

Regards Tom-

A couple of choices:

Enphase Micro-inverter Grid-Tie Systems

SMA Sunnyboy Grid Tie Inverters
700 to 7000 Watts

Are you sure you want Grid Tied? Not off-grid inverters that run on batteries?

From our host's (NAWS) website:

Most grid-tie inverters tend to be larger, except the Enphase 190W units. They are almost always 230-240V as well.

an interesting note i should mention is that i remember seeing a small 240w batteryless gt inverter being offered by exeltech.

Suriname is actually 127 VAC 60 Hz, but I guess that is close enough to 115 - 120. Or is it?

Electrical Operating Range: 108-132VAC, 59.3 to 60.5 Hz
i think it's covered.

It's virtually impossible to hold system voltage close enough that 120 versus 127 would matter. Most electric systems in the States are 120/240 +/- 5%, with +/- 10% being the absolute upper bound.

What I'd check for is the permissible system range.
