$ENPH Interesting bit from yesterday by Badri about additional uses for their SST product:
“Do you have a plans to offer step-up transformers for the commercial and utility scale solar technology platform, specifically dedicated pad mounted substation transformers, that go from inverter output voltages to medium voltage for grid interconnection?”
Badri:
“No. But if you look at it, what we are trying to do here and one possible application of the SST, which I haven't yet focused on, but I don't mind sharing is, if you have a utility scale solar, for example, the utility scale solar, the panel DC voltage is approximately 15 mini panels are strung together and you have 1,500 volt DC. Imagine that 1,500 volt DC directly going to medium voltages, you do not need a low voltage AC inverter. You can directly go to medium voltage AC to the grid. So utility scale solar can benefit a lot through the SST architecture.”
