Attractive for use with dual 60-cell crystalline modules, the DGM-S460 is the first micro-inverter that can truly be applied in large commercial and solar farm installations. The technology incorporated in each DGM-S460 Direct Grid micro-inverter offers the highest efficiency in its class, along with high reliability, excellent power factor and robust Echelon power-line communication.
"We are very excited about receiving CE and VDE certification for the DGM-S460," said Direct Grid President Frank Cooper. "This is an industry first, being that we have positioned ourselves in the 500 Watt Class in European Utility Grid deployment. Customers can realize the known advantages of a distributed inverter architecture without the module power and reliability limitations that have traditionally held back this class of product. While this was a significant milestone in our ‘go to market' evolution, we are planning a global product launch, so additional regional certifications are expected over the next several weeks, including UL certification for the US market."
Targeted specifically to the utility and commercial markets, the DGM-S460 will be distributed in Europe initially through OEM partner One Network Energies in France. Additional partner agreements are near finalization and will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
