AE Remote PV Tie (RPT™) Accessory
Contents
1. ADVANCED ENERGY Ar AE Remote PV Tie RPT Accessory Field proven accessory that lowers home run conductor costs for commercial and utility scale projects The greater the distance between the array and inverters the higher the project cost and the higher the DC cable losses You can reduce the levelized cost of energy LCOE with an Advanced Energy Remote PV Tie RPT by connecting the neutrals of the arrays in the field and eliminating expensive long length and large diameter wires of the neutral DC home run legs and required conduit The positive and negative hot The AE RPT is backed with a complete 5 year warranty coverage wires connect the arrays to the AE inverter and the RPT puts l ensuring there are no surprises during the warranty period Plus the neutrals in series at the array When installed with AE you have the peace of mind of being backed by AE s legendary NX inverters the RPT accessory reduces the distance of DC service and support transmission current over conventional 600 VDC distribution Furthermore having fewer jobs to perform Lower Operational LCOE during site construction helps ensure on time startup e Achieve high system efficiency with lower DC wiring losses e Reduce voltage drop in DC wiring Achieve Higher Efficiency Reduce BoS Componenet of LCOE Cut neutral home run conductor costs During operation conventional PV installations expend approximately 2 of energy producti2. 2012 www advanced energy com solarenergy All rights reserved Printed in U S A G Re I EN ERGY 877 312 3832 sales support aei com invertersupport aei com ENG RPT 250 05 11 13 C US Please see www advanced energy com for worldwide contact information Advanced Energy is a trademark of Advanced Energy Industries Inc
