AE 75TX and AE 100TX

 

The industry standard for  
reliability and ease of installation

The AE 75TX and AE 100TX commercial inverters set the 

industry standard for high reliability, ease of installation, and 

lifetime maintainability. Designed for a 20+ year operating 

life, high reliability is enabled by busbar power connections, 

redundant cooling system, and card cage circuit board 

design resulting in a track record of 99+% uptime. With 

a best-in-class efficiency of 96%, the highly integrated 

system is designed to save installers time and money with 

load break rated AC & DC service disconnects, neutral-free 

installation, oversized busbar landings, and generous cable 

bending area with bottom and side entry options. The wide 

295-595 V operating window maximizes energy harvest 

and provides exceptional stringing flexibility. The robust 

construction of the AE 75TX and AE 100TX inverters allow 

them to be applied in high DC loading applications, with 

DC:AC load ratios up to 1.75:1 (see specification table for 

details).

New features include remote disable inputs and an 

expanded array of monitored subcombiner fusing options. 

A 24 V auxiliary power supply, revenue grade meter, and 

performance monitoring gateway can also be added for a 

completely integrated inverter solution. Advanced power 

controls provide essential utility support functions including 

power factor, curtailment, and controlled ramp rate.

The AE 75TX and the AE 100TX are backed with an industry-

leading 10-year nationwide warranty and a comprehensive 

optional 20-year warranty; plus the best service and support 

team in the business.
