Toshiba Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC) has received an order of its SOLAR WARE 2700, 1500V outdoor PV inverters in the United States. SOLAR WARE 2700 realizes the world's largest-class single-unit capacity and the world's highest level of power conversion efficiency the company claims.
1500V PV system is globally capturing attention as a next-generation system because not only it achieves high efficiency of overall facilities versus 1000V system but also highly economical PV system by consolidating equipment and reducing the labor cost.

Additionally, the 1500V system is also being considered in Japan, India and China.
TMEIC currently has received an order of SOLAR WARE 2700 from juwi Inc., which is a U.S. subsidiary of juwi AG (headquartered in Germany) whose core business is development and construction of renewable energy. This project is located in the northern area of the U.S. state of Colorado, and at the end of June 2016 TMEIC plans to deliver 12 units of its SOLAR WARE 2700 with a generating capacity of 30 MW.
TMEIC is the first Japanese company* to receive an order for 1500V system PV inverters in the U.S. market, which can be attributed to its growing reputation from customers as evidenced by TMEIC's proven track record of sales in the global market as well as in terms of performance, quality and reliability.
