GoodWe Technologies Co Ltd. announced that it has been added to the approved vendor list of Sunnova Energy International Inc. to provide GoodWe's SMT-US inverter for medium- to large-scale commercial and industrial (C&I) sites. This partnership allows GoodWe and Sunnova to meet the growing demand by C&I customers that want to stabilize energy costs, take advantage of IRA production and investment credits, and benefit from selling clean energy. Already available through Sunnova's extensive distribution network, GoodWe's SMT-US three-phase, 50/60 kW inverter provides improved safety and design flexibility, while also improving performance over the system's lifetime.

Meeting safety shutdown standards, the string inverter includes a built-in rapid shutdown transmitter eliminating the need to install additional module-level hardware. It also complies with safety standards with type II surge protection for both DC and AC to prevent voltage spikes. With up to 6 MPPTs and a Max 15A DC input current per string for high-power module compatibility, the SMT-US inverters provide design versatility.

While its 150% DC input oversizing, 110% AC output overloading, and 180-980V wide input operating range for improved system uptime throughout the day increase the system's energy output during the system's lifetime. To reduce OPEX costs, the inverter leverages a unique fuse-free design to simplify maintenance and increase reliability. GoodWe provides both residential and commercial solar energy systems that enable households and businesses alike to harvest maximum solar energy and reduce their carbon footprint.

For the North American market, all of GoodWe's string inverters achieve safety shutdown standards with a built-in rapid shutdown transmitter, eliminating the need to install MLPE. Its C&I product suite includes inverters, smart meters, and loggers for monitoring, delivering significant economic, environmental, and operational advantages for businesses. GoodWe's SEMS (Smart Energy Management System) platform is a state-of-the-art solution for efficient solar and storage monitoring and management.
