GreenVolts GV-SCP001 16kW 480VAC 3-Phase Grid-Tie Solar Inverter For Parts

GreenVolts GV-SCP001 16kW 480VAC 3-Phase Grid-Tie Solar Inverter For Parts

The GreenVolts GV-SCP001 is a 16kW, 480VAC three-phase grid-tie solar inverter housed in a distinctive green freestanding cabinet. Designed to convert DC power from photovoltaic solar arrays into grid-synchronized three-phase 480VAC power, this unit represents commercial-scale solar inverter technology from the early 2010s. GreenVolts was a US-based solar inverter company that developed proprietary inverter architectures for commercial and utility-scale PV installations. This unit is being sold as-is for parts or repair and has not been tested.

Applications

Grid-tie solar inverters of this class are used in commercial and light utility-scale photovoltaic systems where DC power generated by solar panels must be converted to AC power and fed back into the electrical grid. A 16kW, 480VAC three-phase unit like the GV-SCP001 was aimed at rooftop commercial or small ground-mount installations, where three-phase 480V infrastructure is already present — typical in light industrial facilities, warehouses, and commercial buildings. The three-phase output allows direct connection to a standard commercial switchgear panel without a step-up transformer in many configurations. GreenVolts designed their inverters for the US commercial solar market in the early 2010s, a period of rapid growth in grid-tied PV deployment. This unit may be useful for parts harvesting (inverter boards, ABB contactors, Mean Well power supplies, Hammond transformer, Bussmann fuse block), repair, or engineering/research purposes.
