加拿大的施耐德电气公司的太阳能逆变器将在加州萨克拉门托市2500 R街Sunverge太阳能一体化体系中发挥整合作用。这个34个独立家庭LEED™白金住房项目将是加州第一个简单，经济有效的结合了智能分布发电以及储能方案的能源管理系统。
该项目使用的施耐德电气公司Xantrex XW逆变器/充电器提供了真正的正弦波输出和高振荡能力。创新的全数字控制调节电压，以帮助防止在电源浪涌下降。全部200％额定输出功率传送到负载。单相（230伏/ 50赫兹或120/240Vac / 60 Hz）和三相（230/400吸尘器/ 50赫兹，或120/208 V交流/ 60赫兹）的配置是可能的。该XW是基于电池的高达24千瓦和商业应用高达36千瓦三相配置住宅应用的基础。
作为大萨克拉门托地区第一家私人商业微网项目，Sunverge的2500 R街工程项目设计让业主以达到经济实惠，净零能源利用效率。通过太阳能储存系统，每个家庭预计能产生尽可能多的清洁能源，这将意味着减少水费开支并支持了美国国家的能源独立。
该项目预计2011年5月开工。
Schneider Electric inverters at heart of first micro-grid, distributed energy resource community in California
Burnaby, Canada Schneider Electric solar inverters play an integral part in the Sunverge Solar Integration System at the 2500 R Street project in Sacramento, California. The 34-single family home LEED™ Platinum housing project will be the first simple, cost-effective energy management system in California that intelligently distributes generation and storage of renewable energy.
“We’re proud that Sunverge Energy chose our leading-edge Schneider Electric Xantrex XW Inverter/Chargers for this innovative project that provides cost-effective, sustainable housing,” said Ted Campbell, Renewable Product Leader for Schneider Electric Renewable Energies Business.
The Schneider Electric Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger provides true sine-wave output and high surge capacity. The innovative Full Digital Control regulates voltage to help prevent a drop during a power surge. Full 200% rated output power is delivered to the load. Single-phase (230 Vac / 50 Hz or 120/240Vac / 60 Hz) and three-phase (230/400 Vac / 50Hz, or 120/208 Vac / 60Hz) configurations are possible. The XW is the foundation for battery- based residential applications up to 24 kW and commercial applications up to 36 kW in a three-phase configuration.
As the first private commercial micro-grid project of its kind in the greater Sacramento area, Sunverge’s 2500 R Street project is designed to allow homeowners to achieve affordable, net zero energy efficiency. Through the solar storage system enabled by the Schneider Electric Xantrex XW Inverter/Chargers, each home is expected to be able to generate as much clean energy as it uses, which would translate to reduced utility bills and support national energy independence. Utilities can benefit by being able to control their renewable resources discretely or in aggregate, with the aim of improving utility transmission and distribution, deferring capital asset investment, improving grid reliability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with peak load generation.
Groundbreaking for the 2500 R Street project is anticipated for May 2011.
