AC Photovoltaic Modules are the ideal approach to building an incremental PV
utility intertie system. The advantages of this modular approach for a utility
interconnect are the low minimum system size, the ease of system expansion, and the cost
savings in installation and design. The effect of shading or mis-orientation of individual
modules on overall array power output performance is minimized because each module
operates independently. The modular inverters automatically sense the presence of the
utility grid and are able supply power to it with very little sunlight because of their
maximum power point tracking ability. Utility required islanding protection is automatic.
Using AC modules reduces system design to a simple matter of choosing how many AC modules
to utilize. It is no longer necessary to configure a PV array to match the voltage,
current and power requirements of a conventional central power conditioner. By maximum
power tracking each module independently, mismatch losses between modules of an array are
eliminated. Expensive and hard to find DC-rated switches, fuses, and power-robbing
blocking diodes are eliminated.
The SunSine® 325 is a large area AC module with an output of 275
Watts (STC) of 120V, 60Hz AC power designed for a direct utility intertie system. It is
equipped with quick-connectors for fast, flawless field wiring and is compatible with
Ascension Technology’s RoofJack™ mounting systems. Development of the SunSine®
was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and over twenty electric power companies
across the nation who helped test this product for grid-tied PV power applications.
Designed to be NEC-compliant, the SunSine® was the world’s first
Underwriters Laboratories Listed AC module. The SunSine® has maximum power
point tracking, morning start-up and evening shut-down, over/under voltage and over/under
frequency protection and both active and passive islanding protection.

Benefits of the SunSine® AC Module
•Each inverter works independently
•High modularity allows easy system expansion, start with one module and
easily add more to the system as money and time allow
•Low minimum system size, one AC PV module is all that is needed
•Use of standard AC installation methods and components
•Reduced losses in wiring, AC experiences significantly less loss than DC
during transmission
•Maximizes system performance since each PV module operates at its peak power
point (peak power point tracking)
•No need for power robbing string or bypass diodes
•Less potential for lightning damage because of NO DC system wiring, and
transformer isolation between AC output and internal DC connection to the PV.
•Weather proof construction protects electronics
•Eliminates expensive and hard-to-find dc-rated switches, fuses and other
components.
•Sets New Safety Standards for Grid-Tied Systems
•SunSine® AC modules are inherently safe. They produce no output
until correctly connected to the grid.
•Most Reliable AC Module in service today!! Passes IEEE C62.41-1991.
C62.45-1992 Surge Withstand testing without hardware failure or loss of protection
functions.
•60 Hertz Transformer Isolation provides the best protection from ground
faults and surge currents from module to module or module to utility voltage.
•Reduced electrical bills
•Increases Flexibility for Grid-Tied PV Systems
•The SunSine® reduces system design to a simple matter of choosing
how many AC modules to utilize. It is no longer necessary to configure a PV array to match
the voltage, current and power input requirements of a conventional central power
conditioner.
•Systems can be configured for 120/240 Vac single-phase or 120/208 Vac
three-phase installations.
