How does the PV+ help?

By monitoring the incoming supply voltage, the PV+ unit allows the Solar PV inverter to compliantly stay in circuit for longer, preventing nuisance over voltage shut down andkeeping you generating for longer. Meaning a faster return of investment for existing and new systems alike.

Additionally, as excessive voltage is given up as heat in electrical appliances, running the PV inverter closer to it’s designed voltage will reduce stresses caused by overheating and potentially help increase it’s operating life.

is pleased to announce the latest development in it’s range of PVDC connection units: The PV+

Did you know that… when your PV system is generating at full capacity, your inverter could be in over-voltage mode and not generating at all ???

This potential loss in generation could be costing you £££’s

Graph below shows Omnik 3kWp inverter October 2013 clearly showing loss in generation throughout the day.

Graph below shows same day inverter output voltage consistently above 250V

Graph below shows same Omnik 3kWp inverter October 2014 after voltage has been reduced. Clearly showing no over-voltage shut down or loss of generation.

Graph below shows same day inverter output voltage consistently below 250V

Table below shows month on month generation. Note the difference in kW/h generated after voltage is reduced.

Installation

The PV+ unit has been design to simply replace the lockable AC isolator located next to the consumer unit. With simple wire in wire connection all housed in a compliant metal case installation could not be easier.

Product Features

• BS7671 : 2008 amendment 3 compliant non combustible metal enclosure*

• matt:e Ltd type tested software

• Lockable mains AC isolator

• Designed and built solely in the UK

* Due to the number of consumer unit fires reported within domestic properties regulation 421.1.201 has been added to BS7671:2008, which requires consumer units and similar switchgear to have their enclosures manufactured from non combustible material or to be enclosed in a cabinet constructed from non combustible material.

Robust design. Built to last.

All matt:e products have a standard 5 years parts warranty

All matt:e products are designed and are built to last with a life expectancy of 25 years. Giving total peace of mind and ensuring the maximum return on your investment
