SoCore Energy, a leader in solar portfolio development and commercial rooftop installations, has chosen SMA to supply 17.5 MW of commercial-scale inverters. Specifically, SoCore chose the Sunny Tripower TL-US three-phase, transformerless inverter¹ for 44 PV projects by Fortune 500 companies nationwide.

More than 730 inverters have been delivered and will energize some of the most well-known movie theater, shipping and retail chains in the United States. All of the projects will be online by early this year. Located in six states across the U.S., the installations will have an average system size of 410 kW and will be powered by the Sunny Tripower 20000TL-US and 24000TL-US.

 

“Our Fortune 500 customers expect the best, so quality and reliability are paramount,” said Pete Kadens, president of SoCore. “Not only does the Sunny Tripower fulfill these needs, but the fact that they are manufactured domestically allows us to meet the very tight timelines these projects require.”
