AE 500NX

Product catalog summary
Overview: The AE 500NX inverter, previously known as Solaron 500, is designed for large commercial and utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) projects. It offers a high efficiency of 97.5% and a fleet availability exceeding 99%, enhancing the return on investment (ROI) for project developers and owners.
Key Features:
  • Efficiency and Performance: The inverter boasts a 98% weighted efficiency and is designed to maximize energy harvest.
  • Design and Installation: The robust, outdoor-ready design eliminates the need for additional enclosures, reducing balance of system (BoS) costs. It is the lightest inverter per kW, simplifying installation and logistics.
  • Operational Benefits: The AE 500NX supports parallel connections to a single medium-voltage transformer, further reducing BoS costs and improving the levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
  • Reliability and Maintenance: The inverter is built with NEMA 3R construction and a sealed electronics cabinet, ensuring reliable operation in diverse environments. It includes a self-contained cooling system and offers a 5-year warranty, extendable to 20 years.
  • Data Monitoring: Integrated SCADA connectivity allows for real-time data collection and interaction with utility-level commands.
Specifications:
  • Physical Dimensions: The inverter has a compact design with specific clearance requirements for installation.
  • Electrical Specifications: It supports dual array configurations with a maximum operating input current of 750 ADC and a continuous output power of 500 kW at 480 VAC.
  • Environmental Conditions: The inverter operates within a temperature range of -4 °F to 122 °F, with a cold-weather option extending the range to -31 °F.
  • Regulatory Compliance: It is certified to UL 1741-2010 and compatible with IEEE and NEC standards.
Options and Accessories: The AE 500NX offers various options including power station configurations, AC disconnect switches, and subarray monitoring capabilities.

AE 500NX (Formerly known as Solaron 500) Reliable inverter solution with higher efficiency for large commercial and utility-scale projects Achieve higher, faster PV system return on investment (ROI) for large commercial and utility-scale projects with Advanced Energy’s AE 500NX inverter. With a true 97.5% weighted efficiency without carve-outs for auxiliary power or other adjustments, the AE 500NX generates more power and value for project developers, owners and financiers. Energy harvest is maximized further with fleet availability in excess of 99%. Eliminate the need for enclosures, even in harsh environments, The AE 500NX is backed with a complete 5-year warranty so with its robust, outdoor ready design that reduces upfront balance there are no surprises during the warranty period. An extended of system (BoS) costs. Installation is simplified with an optional 20-year warranty is available as an option. The AE warranty integrated DC master combiner and fusing area that saves time options provide peace of mind and are backed by the best service and materials. Plus, being the lightest inverter per kW as well as and support team in the business. having the smallest footprint per kW means the AE 500NX is simple to maneuver and put in place ensuring your project stays on schedule. The stable, high-voltage, tranformerless engine allows several units to be connected in parallel to a single medium-voltage transformer reducing the upfront balance of system (BoS) costs Lower Operational LCOE • Increased energy harvest with 98% weighted efficiency • Increased availability with >99% monitored fleet availability • Legendary service and response and improving LCOE. No step-up transformer and fewer mediumvoltage transformers are required when you select AE inverters. AE’s product development process ensures the Service and Reliability departments are involved to simplify ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M). The AE 500NX is used in a variety of environments – from the high desert mountains to the Pacific tropics. It runs reliably day in and day out with a NEMA 3R construction and a completely sealed electronics cabinet that is designed to NEMA 4 standards and is continuously cooled by a self-contained, liquid-to-air system. SCADA connectivity, collecting and storing a wide range of inverter real-time data, and connecting to many third-party data services is achieved with the integrated data monitoring solution – included at no additional charge. AE Solar Energy is a US based company.
