SolarMax S series (United Kingdom) Maximising solar plant yields can be so easy.

The convincing solution. We have been developing and producing transformerless inverters for over 20 years. Our engineers have used this know-how in adapting the singlephase SolarMax S series string inverters to satisfy a broad range of requirements even better. Installation operators benefi t from our inverters because they are convenient, reliable and high-performance; our installers appreciate them because they can be quickly installed, are easily commissioned and can be expanded without diffi culty. Although all the inverters in the S series are smaller than other comparable devices, in the long term their performance is more reliable. It is this reliability, together with our unique after-sales service, which is the best possible guarantee for every investment. Maximum pay-back Swiss Quality An investment in the SolarMax S series is free of risk. These long-lasting, rugged and high-quality devices have a consistently high euro-effi ciency of up to 96.2 %, meaning they get more out of any solar installation. They are a worthwhile investment. Each inverter in the SolarMax S series is TÜV type approved and satisfi es all the requirements of the GS mark of conformity for product safety. Thanks to our high quality standards we can grant a standard fi ve-year manufacturer s warranty for each string inverter which can be extended optionally to a maximum of 25 years.

Suitable for outdoor and indoor installation High-quality and rugged aluminium housing gives the electronic components the best possible protection. The IP54 protection class also permits all inverters in the SolarMax S series to be installed and safely operated both indoors and outdoors. Competent after-sales service If a device fails to function normally there is a hotline ready to help you fi nd the source of the malfunction. If the device is the cause of the malfunction we will replace it without delay. In addition, we also support our partners with regular training and our free MaxDesign design software, which makes creating an installation as easy as anything!

Innovative cooling system No matter how hot the sun shines, the inverters in the SolarMax S series always deliver best performance. The intelligent cooling concept exhausts heat effi ciently out of the housing while the sensors continuously monitor the operating temperature. In extreme cases the output is reduced to protect the inverters against over-heating. Smart operation and communication All the relevant information and settings are presented on the straight-forward graphics display. An integrated data logger stores all the important data from the sensors. Every inverter is equipped with an RS485 and Ethernet standard interface and can be easily enhanced by adding on MaxComm components. Easier-than-ever installation The SolarMax S series inverters are easy, compact and their plug-in, easily accessible connections can be installed in no time. Thanks to the included mounting rails they can be easily mounted on the wall. The integrated DC circuit breakers enable the inverters to be disconnected from the solar generator in one step.

MaxComm for system monitoring MaxWeb The MaxWeb xp data logger forms the core of the web-based monitoring system; it enables multimedia communication with the photovoltaic plant and sends information via the internet to wherever you wish to receive it. MaxRemote enables remote-controlled performance reduction by the operator. MaxWeb Portal (performance, yield, alarm) SMS (alarm) E-Mail (alarm, XML) MaxMeteo MaxWeb xp WWW MaxRemote (interface) MaxDisplay (interface: performance, yield) MaxCount MaxMonitoring MaxMonitoring The cost-free app visualises the performance data of the photovoltaic system and of individual inverters on site. MaxVisio A touch display visualises the data from a photovoltaic plant including individual inverters. MaxVisio MaxTalk MaxTalk User-friendly PC software for on site communication and for local system monitoring.
