Delta introduces new inverter for use in PV plants

Delta introduces new inverter for use in PV plants

Delta has introduced the new multi-MPPT M30A Flex inverter with an output of 33 kVA. The new inverter is an extension to the Flex series, with its design concept inherited making the series compatible and reliable. The M30A Flex addresses the needs of the rapidly growing market for rooftop installations: compact, lightweight, quiet in operation and easy to install. With these qualities, Delta says the inverter is the perfect solution for installations in commercial buildings but also for larger residential houses. In addition, outdoor installations are also possible thanks to its IP66 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +50°C.
