Sinetech distributes Kaco inverters
14 September 2011
News
Sinetech, a local distributor of inverters and some solar components, located in Randburg, Johannesburg, has been appointed as the local partner for Kaco New Energy.
Headquartered in Germany, Kaco specialises in PV inverters and monitoring systems as well as in power supply systems for rail and industrial applications.
As a leading manufacturer in this field, the company has produced over 3 gigawatts of PV inverters since 1999 and is one of the largest manufacturers of grid-tie inverters in the world.
As early as 1999, Kaco manufactured and launched one of the first series of inverters without a transformer. This made the company a pioneer in the field of transformerless inverter technology which yields higher degrees of efficiency. Another example of the company’s innovative power is the early introduction of three-phase monitoring. This method ensures multiple measurements, thus preventing unnecessary inverter disconnection from the grid.
According to Sinetech, already known for high-quality products like Studer (Switzerland), Outback (USA) and Solarworld (Germany), as well as quality service, it was a natural step to tie up with a large and professional company such as Kaco. Sinetech will offer the full range of Kaco inverter systems with local backup.
