Huawei Unveils its FusionSolar Smart PV Soln at All-Energy Australia

This holistic solution helps in lowering the levelised cost of energy (LCOE).

China-based one of the leading photovoltaic (PV) inverter manufacturers Huawei has launched its latest FusionSolar 6.0 Smart PV Solution and SUN2000-185KTL smart solar inverters for the Australian solar market.

The company has showcased its latest products rang at the All-Energy Australia conference in Melbourne, which is the largest clean and renewable energy event for the Australian market. Huawei has been doing business in the Australian market since past fifteenth years.

The company said that, FusionSolar 6.0 Smart PV Solution is an industry solution integrating SUN2000-185KTL, a 1500V inverter, with bifacial PV modules, MBUS communication, a tracker system and smart PV management system. It further claimed that, this holistic solution helps in lowering the levelised cost of energy (LCOE).

Besides, the latest version of SUN2000-185KTL supports 9 maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) connected to 18 strings. It’s finer granularity of MPPT makes SUN2000-185KTL the best choice for bifacial PV modules to avoid excess string mismatch loss.

Moreover, the SUN2000-185KTL has an IP66 rating that offers high protection in harsh environments like torrid deserts and coastal areas with high humidity and salt-spray.

For its part, the FusionSolar 6.0 supports a smart PV management system which features Smart I-V Curve Diagnosis. It can do a 100 percent full load of scanning remotely for a 100MW PV plant within 15 minutes. Also, it can determine up to 14 kind of string fault certified by TUV, pinpoint the faulty string location and provide recovery advice.

In addition, AI self-learning enables FusionSolar 6.0 to accumulate I-V diagnosis experience and optimise fault models to maximise operations with minimal maintenance.

Commercial and Residential: Ultimate Safety and Better Experience

Huawei unveiled the SUN2000-5-20KTL-M0 three-phase smart solar inverters, and also exhibited the popular SUN2000-29.9KTL and SUN2000L-2/3/4/4.6/5KTL single-phase smart solar inverters. These inverters include 10 years of full comprehensive warranty, instead of the typical 5 years parts and labour, plus 5 years parts warranty.

These models have been designed to better meet the requirements of industrial, commercial, and residential customers in Australia by using cutting-edge technology to deliver energy more efficiently.

Select Huawei distributed solar inverters integrates AI-powered arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) to improve safety for PV plants. With its AI capability, AFCI can detect and determine the occurrence of arcs accurately and reliably, and effectively turn off the grid-tied switch to eliminate arcs and prevent fire.

The potential induced degradation (PID) repair function can prolong the service life of PV modules. Anti-PID module built in solar inverters can automatically adjust the voltage between the PV– and PE to repair the PID effect to maintain PV modules health for a longer time.

As per the latest analysis from independent consulting firms IHS Markit and Wood Mackenzie (also known as GTM Research), the company has been ranked No. 1 in terms of the global PV solar inverter shipment for 4 consecutive years from 2015 to 2018.

As a pioneer and enabler of smart PV, the company said that it is always committed to helping its customers in achieving business success and in accelerating intelligent upgrade of the PV industry.
