"TL" (Transformerless) Central Modular InvertersThe GEFRAN RADIUS Modular system offers modular PV inverter configurations which are also suitable for power ratings of over one megawatt.
The possibility of choosing the single power modules according to the solar generator means multi-inverter systems can be created and specifically optimised for each MPPT, using solutions developed around the basic stand-alone modules.
Since each inverter is operated independently, any losses in the event of one of the modules stopping are drastically re-duced.
Each application is engineered and built to customer specifications, bearing in mind their electrical requirements as well as their logistical and organisational needs.
RADIUS Modular systems offer technical flexibility and thus facilitate the technical and economic optimisation of the entire PV plant. With the Modular solution, adding or removing individual power modules is also extremely quick and simple.
The TL (TransformerLess) version is particularly suitable for multi-inverter plant configurations in which the inverters are joined via a parallel connection to the grid. The use of a single grid output transformer, instead of several dedicated trans-formers, results in an even more efficient and far more cost-effective plant.

GEFRAN provides complete solutions for container and prefabricated electric cabinets approved by utilities, ready for con-nection to the MV distribution grid and designed to house parallel electric cabinets, inverters, medium voltage transformers, DC circuit breakers, anti-islanding protection devices and other accessories.
The housing is suitable for permanent outdoor installation. Cabinets may be fixed or mobile, according to customer specifi-cations. Mobile cabinets are designed to be transported and set in place using a vehicle equipped with hoisting equipment.
Air-conditioned cabinets are also available upon request, to enable faster elimination of condensation. However, all compo-nents receive adequate natural ventilation, especially the transformer, so that they do not exceed the maximum overtem-peratures that are allowed.
Cabinets are supplied as turnkey solutions and are specifically designed to ensure access to all internal components and inverters, to facilitate inspection, servicing and repairs.

String invertersRadius Industrial string inverters have power ratings of 10.2 kW up to 20 kW.
The use of advanced technology and low-loss components, and the absence of a transformer, make it possible to achieve peak efficiency of 98%.
The wide voltage range of up to 400-800 VDC responds to the need to reduce installation costs, as the reduced number of strings involves less DC cables.
The double MPPT channel is an additional advantage that allows "independent" DC inputs to be used if the PV field has a "non-uniform structure" or features several strings with different orientations and inclinations; it also allows better monitor-ing of strings and fewer mismatching losses. Thanks to the potential of the multi-MPPT tracking system, reduced energy production times due to partial shading are also cut to a minimum.
Radius Industrial String Inverters combine the advantages of multi-MPPT tracking with maximum efficiency.

Plant accessories for Central Inverter"Smart" string box
The RADIUS JBX-COM is a parallel string connec-tion system that measures the current in each string to enable continuous monitoring of correct module opera-tion and detection of any faults on defective strings.
Faulty strings are immediately identified and located so that service technicians know which strings need repair-ing without touching the others.
The surge arrestors are recommended when the invert-er is installed more than 30 metres from the string box.
The wide voltage range of up to 1000 VDC makes this unit compatible with all modules, including latest-gen-eration cells.

Logger
MONITORING
Plant data can be remotely accessed and displayed at any time. PV plant moni-toring is performed by simply logging-in to the web portal where the values of energy produced, the economic returns generated and even the reduction of CO2
emissions are displayed in real-time.
REPORTING
Reports monitoring energy production can be stored, printed or e-mailed. In the event of stoppages, they can be used as "certified proof" of loss of production to claim insurance under the State incentive package.
ALARM DIAGNOSTICS
The data logger also acquires any alarm signals coming from the strings and in-verter so that these can be detected remotely, reported to our service technicians (by fax, e-mail or SMS) and eliminated as soon as possible.
AMBIENT MEASUREMENTS
The data logger also measures "ambient" variables that could affect proper plant operation: ambient temperature, module temperature, radiation and wind speed.
These data are measured by external sensors and sent to the control server which interfaces with a satellite weather-forecasting service, compares the data and re-ports any differences in messages sent by fax, e-mail or SMS. Plausibility checks are performed to eliminate any false alarms.

MaintenancecontractHigh-level efficiency can only be guaranteed by servicing the plant regularly and maintaining the conditions in place at the time of installation.
The maintenance contract includes a yearly inspection or online check, on a date agreed upon in advance with the customer, to make sure that each single component is in perfect working order.
Quality checks are performed once a year and include a general overhaul and replacement of any worn or critical parts to prevent the risk of future malfunctioning. Detailed records are kept of all work that is performed and any re-pairs are noted in the service report.
WarrantyExtensionContractThe extended warranty gives you the chance to extend the manufacturer's warranty. This cover offers the best value for money, as it includes unlimited assistance, even after the end of the warranty period. All you have to do is call.
The contract includes an emergency service following re-ceipt of the written request for technical assistance.
Periodical maintenance
RADIUSSOLARSERVICE:
RADIUSEnergyNon-StopContractGEFRAN agrees to assume full liability for any loss of energy production due to reduced or loss of RADIUS inverter efficiency.
Should we be unable to provide the service within the term as specified in the contract, we will refund the entire incentive tariff for each hour for which the service is delayed after the first 72 hours (3 days).
Periodical maintenance is always recommended, as this can help to prevent faults and thus avoid machine downtimes that result in energy production shortfalls.
