Recently, it was learned from Shanyi New Energy Co., Ltd. that its US model SolarRiver series 3kw-10kw PV grid-connected inverters had successfully listed in the US CEC list in Longyear, with the test efficiency reaching 97.5%. The domestic same power inverter indicates that Shanyi New Energy's new products have taken a solid step forward in channel expansion in the US market.

Shanyi New Energy Certification Department revealed that the CEC certification is an energy efficiency regulation for electrical appliances implemented by the California State Energy Commission. This regulation requires that qualified laboratories must perform tests according to the corresponding US regulations or standards to prove that they meet the requirements. The evaluation criterion of CEC efficiency is very strict. It takes three input DC voltage points respectively. These three points are the lowest, average, and highest values ​​of the voltage window followed by the maximum power point of the inverter. Then calculate the efficiency by weighted average method.

There are more than 20 kinds of machines listed on the top US CEC list of Zhongshan Yixin Energy, of which the efficiency is as high as 97.5%. From the aspect of efficiency, it is far ahead of the domestic same power inverter, and the components are selected from the top international companies. Brand suppliers, guarantee the quality and performance of various accessories. This series of models has a transformerless design, a wide range of MPPT, small size, easy installation and so on. According to relevant person in charge of Shanyi New Energy, Shanyi New Energy has obtained CSA certification for R&D in the United States and is unobstructed in all US states. It also has great competitiveness in distributed power plant projects and its advantages are already in place. Many distributed power stations emerged.

In recent years, the U.S. photovoltaic market has benefited from the rapid growth of the federal government and states in support of diversified and innovative support policies. It has analyzed the U.S. photovoltaic market policy. Instead of adopting the more popular national FIT subsidy model, it has adopted investment. Direct subsidies, photovoltaic investment tax credits, accelerated depreciation credits and a series of policy support such as the Green Power Certificate (REC) are more conducive to the development of distributed photovoltaics than FIT.

According to GTM's forecast, the United States added 684MW in the third quarter of the US solar photovoltaic market and 1.2GW of photovoltaic systems in the fourth quarter of 2012, which will increase the US's installed capacity in 2012 to 3.2GW. In 2013, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power in the United States is expected to reach 3.9 GW, and by 2016 this figure will reach 8 GW.

U.S. experts believe that the fundamental reason for the growth of the local market is the reduction in the cost of photovoltaic power generation. Of course, the rise of third-party leasing businesses in the United States has also played a crucial role, but the cost is still the primary reason. After the U.S. launched the “double reverse” of photovoltaics in China, the prices of local components did not increase, but continued to fall. This laid the foundation for the 2013 U.S. market to rise again.
