KOSTAL PIKO CI 30 String Inverter for Commercial Solar Systems
The KOSTAL PIKO CI 30 is the compact entry point to the powerful PIKO CI series from German premium manufacturer KOSTAL Solar Electric. With 30 kW rated power and an impressive efficiency of 98.2%, this three-phase string inverter was specifically developed for medium commercial installations and solar projects.
Intelligent Project Design with the KOSTAL PIKO CI 30
The KOSTAL PIKO CI 30 enables optimized generator design through high system voltage of up to 1000 V. With oversizing of up to 50% (DC to AC), PV generators up to 45 kWp can be connected. Simple DC installation without string combiner boxes and integrated DC disconnect significantly reduce installation costs.
Two MPPTs for Flexible System Design
With two independent MPP trackers and six DC inputs, the KOSTAL PIKO CI 30 offers sufficient flexibility for different roof orientations. The MPPT voltage range from 480 to 800 V at rated power and extended working voltage range from 180 to 960 V enable diverse string configurations.
Smart Performance for Maximum Yields
The certified efficiency of 98.2% maximizes energy yield. Integrated monitoring of connected PV strings enables optimal monitoring and quick service. Integrated grid service functions ensure reliable operation under all grid conditions.
Robust Construction for Outdoor Use
IP65 protection rating guarantees optimal protection against dust and water for harsh outdoor use. Type 2 surge protection on AC and DC sides protects the system from overvoltages. Operating temperature range from -25 to +60°C enables worldwide deployment.
Smart Connected - Professional Communication
Dual LAN interface (RJ45) with integrated switch enables simple daisy-chain wiring. RS485 is integrated as standard. The KOSTAL PIKO CI 30 is compatible with many park controllers and data loggers. The integrated data logger secures all system information at all times.
Cost-Optimized Installation
The cost-optimized 4-wire AC connection eliminates the need for neutral conductor in symmetrical grids. The integrated KOSTAL Smart AC Switch replaces external coupling switch. With compact dimensions of 470 x 555 x 270 mm and only 41 kg weight, installation is straightforward.
German Quality with Warranty
KOSTAL offers 5 years Smart Warranty, activatable in the KOSTAL Solar Webshop. Comprehensive certifications according to VDE-AR-N 4105/4110, EN 50549-1/-2 and other standards guarantee Europe-wide grid compliance.
