Growatt Gets Certification for BDEW’s Medium Voltage Directive

This awarded certification marks a solid step by the company for business development of the medium and large scale application in Europe, it added.

Growatt has become one of the few Asian inverter brands to receive the certification in accordance with Medium Voltage Directive of the German Federal Association for Energy and Water (Bundesverband der Energie – und Wasserwirtschaft in German, BDEW).

The company said in a statement that, a few of the Asian inverter brands have got the expertise and capability to comply with the BDEW directive, which requires high standard of functionalities of all generating units.

This awarded certification marks a solid step by the company for business development of the medium and large scale application in Europe, it added.

BDEW has strict requirements of the PQ capability of inverter and it is mandatory for the inverter to operate at full output with 0.95-1.1U, which has great impact on heat dissipation performance of the inverter and thus requires a higher standard of it. That is one of the reasons why few Asian brand inverters could succeed in passing the test.

With the continuous efforts of engineers and the excellent performance of MAX, once and for all Growatt MAX products were successfully tested and certified according to the BDEW’s technical guidelines.

Growatt MAX comes with a powerful quad-core architecture, which greatly enhances its capability to process the information or instructions more quickly and handle all kinds of tasks more efficiently including monitoring, protection, smart diagnosis etc.

PV systems installed with Growatt MAX will be able to contribute to voltage stability and ride-through capability of the grid.

Commenting on the achievement, Growatt, Co-founder and Sales Director, Frank Qiao said, “Growatt is one of the very few Asian inverter brands that has the technological capability to attain the certification and meet the guidelines of the BDEW’s Medium Voltage Directive. We are very proud of our engineers and their expertise in driving Growatt to lead in the medium voltage sector.”

“The Directive sets forth a very comprehensive range of requirements for medium-voltage PV networks. And meeting these extremely complex technical guidelines means that Growatt is reliable with regards to grid stability management. For countries where the grid standard level is not that high, using Growatt inverters will provide clients with advantages for their on-grid PV systems in case the grid standard is changed or raised to a higher level,” Qiao added.
