by Ann Withanee — September 8, 2010—Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., announces that the company has established its first grid connections at multiple sites located in Germany and the Czech Republic. The new solar powered facilities utilize the company’s award-winning Solaron 500E grid-tied solar PV inverters to provide renewable energy to customers in the European region.

The Solaron 500E, a high-efficiency, transformerless, grid-tie PV inverter, was designed specifically for the European PV market, says the company. It was selected by these customers because of its ability to maximize power delivery and deliver record-setting efficiency levels and unmatched system uptime, says Advanced Energy Industries. The installations include both rooftop and ground-mounted systems. In recent months, the company has seen increasing sales momentum for its Solaron PV inverters in countries across Europe, with notable orders from companies based in the European Union (EU) due to be installed later this year.

Advanced Energy is a global leader in innovative power and control technologies for high-growth, thin-film manufacturing and solar-power generation.
