Solar inverter

PVS980-MVP
The FIMER medium voltage pad mounted solution is a cost
efficient and robust solution designed for large-scale solar
power generation and to be compatible with the PVS980-58
outdoor inverters. It combines the medium voltage transformer
and the switchgear equipment needed to connect the inverters
to the medium voltage network of the photovoltaic plant.
