In Montalto di Castro<\/strong> there are the innovative photovoltaic systems<\/strong> realized in Grid Parity with SMA inverters<\/strong>. These plants are an important step towards renewable energy production without subsidies.<\/p>\n

Orientation towards clean energy production in Italy<\/h2>\n

Producing clean energy<\/strong> in quantity to compete with traditional sources is one of Montaldo di Castro’s objectives.<\/p>\n

The five plants<\/strong> are controlled by Octopus Energy Investments<\/strong> and do not receive any government subsidies. They also signed a two-year contract with Green Trade for the supply of fixed-price energy.<\/p>\n

The total power of the plants is 63,086 MWp<\/strong>; are the first project<\/strong> of this dimension in Grid Parity in Italy and is one of the largest in Europe.<\/p>\n

Grid Parity photovoltaic plants with SMA inverters<\/h2>\n

To achieve this, around 197,000 photovoltaic panels and 58 SMA Sunny Central CP-XT<\/strong> outdoor inverters were used. Along with some SMA media outlets.<\/p>\n

The maximum efficiency of the inverter reaches 98.7%<\/strong> and is equipped with an Opticool forced ventilation system that allows it to work even under very high temperatures up to 62 \u00b0 C.<\/p>\n

The photovoltaic field<\/strong> is connected to SMA String Combiner<\/strong> with 32 inputs and the reading of the panels is managed at the inverter level by means of a Monitoring Zone<\/strong> reading system.<\/p>\n

This reading system is able to detect string failures<\/strong> only by measuring the reading of the total field current of the field.<\/p>\n
