KACO Blueplanet 155 + 165 TL3 Inverters
Overview
The KACO Blueplanet 155 and 165 TL3 string inverters are tailored for utility-scale solar power plants, including multi-megawatt solar parks. These inverters boast superior efficiencies and overload capacities due to silicon carbide technology, facilitating easy logistics and installation. They also support both decentralized designs and the "Virtual Central" concept, with robust overvoltage protection for AC, DC, and communication interfaces.
