SolarMax TP series
The small three-phase inverter for residential solar plants
Change requires new solutions
The number of residential PV plant installations has increased continuously with
the reduction of system prices. At the same time there has been an increased
requirement for smaller string inverters. Along with high efficiency and diverse
communication functions, small-scale PV power plants must provide an increasing
contribution to grid stability maintenance. One measure for reducing generation
peaks in the public grid includes the uniform feed-in of the solar current using all
network phases.
With the SolarMax TP series, we have built upon tried and tested platforms. The
TP series is characterized by high levels of power density, is extremely compact, and
easy to handle. Its three-phase topology makes the TP series suitable for use in
numerous grid regions. Furthermore, the TP series provides the grid operator with
greater transparency and supports the operator regarding the ideal plant operation
through its comprehensive features. The TP series leaves nothing to be desired.
“For us, a broad product range providing
our customers with the highest possible
flexibility is important. The products and
services of SolarMax provide us with
exactly this flexibility.”
Individual tracker
concept
Thanks to a dual tracker concept, the TP series is
extremely suitable for east-west roofs. Odd numbers of modules or output tolerances do not constitute any limitation either. The solar power plant can
thus be designed more ideally to the consumption
profile of the household. Ideal for increasing the
natural self-consumption.
Three-phase
grid connection
Thanks to the three-phase feed-in, the output is
distributed uniformly to all three phases. This way,
generation peaks result in less asymmetries in the
grid. With the TP series fitters play it safe and meet
the increased requirements when connecting residential PV plants to the grid.
Versatile connection
area
Due to the simple connection concept, the TP series
can be installed in the twinkling of an eye – this
saves time and money. The divided area includes
the communication connections and external
interfaces, along with the grid connection. For
example, data from an external counter can be read
in in order to intelligently control electrical loads.
Direct Internet connection
The free MaxView allows for long-term and location-independent plant monitoring without an external data logger. Plug&Play is used in order to
directly connect the TP series to commercially
available Internet routers. This way, the plant can be
monitored at any time on site or in transit. Simply
register the inverters and plants at maxview.

Plant operators can use the home network in order
to view current output and operating data, as well
as the yield values of their plant at any time.
MaxView can be used on the computer with any
web browser or is available as a free app for IOS
and Android.
Digital I/O
Professional configuration via
notebook
In order to individually configure the inverter, the
free MaxTalk software is available. This offers numerous setting and diagnostics options – countryspecific at that. The connection to the inverter is
performed immediately using Plug&Play.
Reducing the electricity bill
The integrated I/O interfaces are capable of both
reading in data from an external energy counter
and switching controllable electrical loads. This
way, the self-consumption of the self-generated
PV power can be increased without further ado.
This provides for independence and reduces the
annual electricity bill.
