PIKO CI – Ideal for commercial systems and large-scale projects.
The new KOSTAL PIKO CI inverter delivers high performance and reliability for both utility-scale (megawatt) projects and commercial systems.
The PIKO CI is the perfect inverter for every business . four available models offer reliable solutions for any size system. Thanks to the new built-in Smart AC switch can replace the main switch AC. PIKO CI is designed for the requirements of professional photovoltaic systems and offers many options for their sizing, while the high its efficiency level, offers extremely high production. Optimal protection against dust and water (IP65), the also makes it ideal for tough outdoor use. It works in accordance with the current low and medium voltage directives, for its approved operation in European countries. It uses modern technology and offers easy installation and communication via smartphone app and WLAN. Input monitoring provides maximum safety and reliable system operation easy servicing and maintenance.
