Lainate, January 2010 – Carlo Gavazzi Automation - the international electronics Group with activities in the design, manufacturing and marketing of electronic equipment – , presents Eos-Array Lite, the local control solution for solar PV applications,Carlo Gavazzi’s Eos-Array Lite is a simplified and cost effective measurement/control system, whose functions are split into different modules so as to improve the global reliability. Modularity is a key feature of the new device, developed by Carlo Gavazzi Controls team in Belluno (Italy): according to the plant size and the application needs – from small (25kWp) to medium size Solar PV applications –, users can select the most proper module and easily adapt it.
“The aim of Carlo Gavazzi is to continue developing the worldwide most growing business opportunity today, that is solar energy.” – states Fabio D’Incà, International Product Manager – “We believe Eos-Array Lite will enable us to continue to gain credit in the renewable energy market as the key provider of control solutions for PV applications”.
Local string control allows users to localize problems fast and easily. Furthermore, since the fuse protection is integrated, Eos-Array Lite is a space and cost saving solution.
