PRELIMINARYPeak Efficiency of 98.5%*
Turnkey Fully-Integrated Multi-Megawatt Medium Voltage (MV) SolutionLeveraging Satcon’s industry leading Equinox™ PV inverters, Prism Platform™ Equinox is a turnkey utility-grade multi-megawatt platform, complete with factory integrated and tested step-up transformers, MV disconnect switches, and power conversion electronics.
Industrial-Strength DesignPrism Platform Equinox leverages the design enhancements of Satcon’s third generation PV inverter, Equinox, featuring a NEMA 3R enclosure to ensure protection and longevity. Two mirror-image inverters streamline wiring and installation. As a fully outdoor rated solution, Prism Platform Equinox does not require an external climate-controlled enclosure or e-house, reducing both cost and space requirements. An advanced heat sink cooling system eliminates the need for external air circulation inside the inverter, reducing contaminants and improving cooling performance.
Highly Efficient, Highly AdaptablePrism Platform Equinox features a best-in-class peak efficiency of 98.5%*. It features a wide thermal operating range from to -4° F to +122° F (-20° C to +50° C). With an optional heater, it supports temperatures as low as -40° F. Prism Platform Equinox delivers peak performance for utility-scale PV plants virtually anywhere in the world.
Easy Utility-Ready InstallationPrism Platform Equinox is a turnkey utility-ready building block for PV installations. Installation is as simple as placing the unit by crane and connecting both ends. Because Prism Platform is factory integrated, customers save money on field integration labor. Prism Platform can be easily transported in a 40 foot shipping container and has a small footprint.
Proven PerformanceThe proven leader in solar inverter solutions for commercial installations, Satcon sets the standards for efficient large-scale power conversion.
