PVP260kW

The industry standard for reliability, installability, and maintainability

PVP260kW
Continuous Power: 260 kW DC
Operating Range: 295 V - 500 V
Peak Efficiency: 97.7%

PVP 260kW-LV
Continuous Power: 260 kW DC
Operating Range: 265 V -500 V
Peak Efficiency: 97.7%

The PV Powered™ 260 kW model has raised the bar once again for commercial inverter reliability, ease of installation, and lifetime maintainability. High reliability is enabled by market-leading features, including:
  • Bus bar power connections
  • Redundant cooling system
  • The widest temperature rating of any inverter in its class

PVP260kW data sheet


The highly integrated system saves installers time and money by including load-rated AC & DC service disconnects, neutral-free installation, oversized bus bar landings, and generous cable bending area for top, bottom, and side cable entry options.

The PVP260kW inverter has a standard 295 VDC minimum MPPT and an optional full power 265 VDC minimum MPPT—the lowest MPPT voltage of any commercial inverter in the industry. This low input voltage option enables exceptional stringing capability with all PV module technologies, including new-thin film modules.

The PVP260kW model also simplifies performance monitoring by offering inverter-integrated solutions from market leaders Fat Spaniel, Draker, and Energy Recommerce. Additional options from PV Powered include integrated revenue-grade meter and sub-combiner monitoring. PV Powered backs all its commercial inverters with an industry-leading 10-year warranty and an unprecedented optional 20-year warranty, plus the best service and support team in the business.

Superior Reliability
  • Redundant cooling system with Smart Air Management™
  • Low parts count reduces potential failure points
  • Engineered bus bar power connections
  • Card cage circuit board system minimizes electronic interconnections


Exceptional Installability
  • Top, bottom, and side entry with generous bending area and oversized bus bar landings
  • Large DC sub-combiner compartment with multiple fuse options
  • Full power output at 265 VDC enables more PV array design options
  • Exterior mounting flanges for fast and easy anchoring with no pre-drilling


Easy to Maintain
  • All maintenance and service via front access
  • Fast change circuit board system shortens service time
  • Load-rated AC and DC service disconnects
