Photovoltaic Inverter with transformer 30 kWp - 170 kWp generator connected power

Munic (ots) - Bonfiglioli is proud to be present at the upcoming
Intersolar fair (27th - 29th May 2009) with the latest solutions and
products for the photovoltaic sector.

For power ranges up to 170kWp, Bonfiglioli offers the RPS450 solar
inverter with an internal transformer for feeding into the
low-voltage network. Due to the use of high-quality materials and
special production processes, component losses are minimised and a
higher degree of efficiency can be reached. Galvanic isolation
between the power supply and the generator is guaranteed by the
internal isolating transformers, in order to prevent the feeding of
constant components.

The compact units of the RPS450 range can be interconnected, as
often as desired, on the power supply side, which allows the
implementation of large systems and permits a flexible adjustment on
the solar generator.

Each inverter is equipped with communication interfaces and
software functions, which allows it to be used in the master-slave
network without additional components. The operation of the inverter
module in the master-slave network provides high power output even in
the part-load operational range, whereby the operating mode
"alternating master module" guarantees an additional increase in the
system life-span. Installation and commissioning of RPS is fast and
easy: the start up of the device is done only by connecting power
cables and turning on the main switch.

Bonfiglioli Riduttori saw years ago that alternative energy was
destined to become an important area of growth, due to World's ever
great need for energy. Therefore the Company invested in the
development of mechanical (Trasmital gearboxes) and electronic
solutions (Vectron inverters) capable of providing effective answers
in the field of renewable energy.

Bonfiglioli's earnings from renewable energy applications
currently account for a sixth of the group's turnover (664.5 million
Euros in 2008). The figure in question is around 100 million Euros
per year (2008 figure). 20.5 million Euros coming from photovoltaic
technology, 86 million from wind and about 2 million from biomass and
thermal solar. Bonfiglioli's short term objective is to achieve
further growth before the end of 2009. According to C.E.O. Sonia
Bonfiglioli, turnover from photovoltaics could top around 30 million
Euros with a further 100 million Euros from wind power.
