GoodWe: Joy to Install – PV safety first

Published by

PRESS RELEASE

Since AS5033:2014 starts to implement in Australia, the clause 4.4.1.2 in this standard gives inverter suppliers an opportunity to integrate a built in DC load break disconnector on the inverter. By this way, additional load break disconnectors adjacent to inverters are not requested in installations.

The standard of AS5033:2014 and AS4777.2:2020 (draft version) both clearly list the requirements on the built in DC switch disconnectors such as shall be DC PV2 and compliant with IEC60927.3 etc.

GoodWe embraces this new standard change and believes this change could obviously decrease the safety hazards in solar systems such as the external breaker which is one of main possible causes of serious damage to the entire solar system. To better fit the new standard and reduce the installation time and cost, GoodWe gradually integrated the compliant DC load break disconnectors to inverters. Currently GoodWe inverter models XS, DNS, MS, SMT and EH are available with compliant DC switch disconnectors. All customers can contact with GoodWe’s authorised local wholesalers or GoodWe Australia directly for collecting the GoodWe load break disconnector manufacturer declaration.

Additional to the built in DC load disconnector on the GoodWe SMT series, we now offer a DC cover as part of the  standard package as default. GoodWe believes the built-in DC disconnector plus DC cover ensures the installation is neater and safer. Furthermore, with just 40kg weight and compact design, the SMT series is easier to handle and install.

Featuring a maximum DC input voltage of 1100 V, wider MPPT range, and a start-up voltage of 180 V, the SMT series guarantees an earlier power generation and a longer operating time in order to maximize ROI to system’s owners.
