blue planet 2502xi
Grid-Tied Inverter 2500W
With the KACO Solar blue planet xi series of grid-tied inverters, Kaco Solar has created an inverter family that is unparalleled in its class and once again, has set new energy output and efficiency standards. Kaco's new grid-tied inverter design is not only the most efficient in it’s class, it also offers patented MPP technology and produces optimum total output from your installation.
Longevity and reliability have been the outstanding characteristics and key objectives of all KACO Solar developments. During the middle of the last century, KACO’s mechanical AC- "choppers" created the basis for today's reliable inverters. Reliability has remained a key characteristic of all blue planet inverters. Kaco Solar inverters feature the exclusive use of convection cooling: It’s a simple fact that inverters have a longer lifetime without moving parts like fans.
Kaco's easyInstall system makes installation of the inverters extremely simple with our innovative, lightweight and easy mounting bracket. Cables are connected directly inside the inverter with screw clamps. The inverter’s hinged housing door allows easy access to all PV terminals to ensure our easyInstall promise. In addition, KACO grid tie inverters are light enough for a single person to install.
