The Sunny Tripower CORE1 is the world's first free-standing string inverter. Its innovative design significantly reduces installation costs for commercial rooftop, carport and ground mount PV systems. Combined with industry leading performance and safety features, CORE1 offers unmatched reliability, maximum return on investment, and lower total cost of ownership that make it the preferred choice for commercial PV professionals. From distribution to construction to operation, the Sunny Tripower CORE1 enables logistical, material, labor and service cost reductions, and is the most versatile, cost-effective commercial solution available. Integrated SunSpec PLC for rapid shutdown and enhanced DC AFCI arc-fault protection ensure compliance to the latest safety codes and standards. With Sunny Tripower CORE1 and SMA's ennexOS cross sector energy management platform, system integrators can deliver comprehensive commercial energy solutions for increased ROI. Flexible, Cost-Effective Rapid Shutdown Solutions - SunSpec Rapid Shutdown Certified - Plug-and-Play Solution for module-level shutdown. SMA's SunSpec certified rapid shutdown solution combines a powerline signal transmitted by the Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverter with compatible module-level devices to deliver the simplest, most reliable module-level shutdown solution for complying with NEC 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings. UL 3741 PV Hazard Control listed - Safety and Code Compliance without module-level shutdown - Sunny Tripower CORE1 are the first inverters listed to standard UL 3741 PV Hazard Control for NEC 690.12 compliance. This listing eliminates the need for module-level shutdown devices when CORE1 inverters are installed with co-listed array mounting systems - offering cost savings, faster installation and improved reliability versus traditional module-level shutdown solutions.
