SolarMax - S stands for smart and sturdy. We are convinced you will be impressed with the performance

String inverters

The single-phase and three-phase string inverters with rated outputs between 1.8 and 15 kW are designed for small and medium-sized PV installations.

Efficient and innovative.
A casing can be regarded as universally applicable if it is capable of withstanding adverse weather influences. For this reason it is manufactured from high-quality aluminium. The improved cooling concept ensures that the devices feed in 100 percent of their rated output, even if the ambient temperature reaches 45 °C. Thanks to their high overall efficiency, SolarMax S string inverters are guaranteed to offer higher performance. And for longer.
 

Central inverters

The three-phase SolarMax central inverters with rated outputs between 20 kW and 1.3 MW are ideal for medium-sized to large PV installations.

As the owner of a photovoltaic installation you appreciate this inverter’s high degree of effi ciency (over 96.5 %) and the fact that it is stunningly good value for money. As a result, and thanks to its high quality, the SolarMax S is guaranteed to get more out of any PV installation. And it’s reliable too: the MaxControl service package removes the need for you to monitor your PV installation. For up to 20 years, if you so wish. It means you can protect your investment effectively and at the same time benefit from our know-howData communication & accessories

History & Products

Sputnik Engineering AG specialises in the development, distribution and maintenance of grid-connected solar inverters. With the SolarMax series, the company with headquarters in Biel (Switzerland) offers a wide range of string inverter products for private homes and central inverters for solar power stations. Our products are based on many years of experience and continuous optimisation and are characterised by cutting-edge technology, high quality, reliability, maximum yields and very good cost effectiveness.

Environmental concerns have been of major importance to the company from day one of its existence. This remained true even as what started as a two-man company, relying on its own resources, was able to grow into an operation employing 330 people in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. "What holds us all together," says Christoph von Bergen, "is the satisfaction of combining power electronics, digital electronics and software into intelligent solutions and the pleasure of advancing solar technology with our own products.“
