PIKO 10-20
The PIKO 10-20 from KOSTAL is a series of transformerless photovoltaic inverters with power ratings of 10–20 kW and three-phase supply. Up to 3 MPP trackers and a wide input voltage range enable flexible string design. The standard communication package simplifies system monitoring, and the self-learning shading management adapts to the installation location.
Key advantages of PIKO 10-20
- Flexible system design: up to 3 MPP trackers and an input voltage range of 160–1000 V.
- Maximum efficiency 97.7–98.0% depending on the model.
- Monitoring as standard: integrated data logger, system monitoring function and web server, plus the free KOSTAL Solar portal and app.
- Self-learning shading management: quick adaptation to the installation site.
- Power control and consumption measurement: dynamic active power control and energy consumption measurement with the optional KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter.
- Simplified commissioning and installation: configuration wizard, integrated electronic DC isolator and tool-free AC and DC connector installation.
Who is this a good choice for?
PIKO 10-20 is a choice for photovoltaic system owners who need a three-phase inverter with 10–20 kW power. The KOSTAL Solar portal and app let users track system performance, and those interested in energy consumption measurement and dynamic active power control can use the optional KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter. Shading management is an important feature for systems where shading occurs.
