Types of Padmount Transformers for Solar Projects
Solar applications demand flexible distribution transformer options that match site size, output, and grid requirements. JCL offers single and three‑phase padmount transformers for solar applications—tariff‑free, thoroughly tested, and supported by one of the largest U.S. inventories to keep your projects moving.
Single-Phase Padmount Transformers
Ideal for solar applications, these compact, oil‑filled transformers are engineered to provide a stable connection from the inverter to utility service.
- Use Case: Ideal for large solar arrays, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and utility interconnections.
- Typical Ratings: Options from 45–5000 kVA and beyond. Built to support everything from commercial solar to grid-tied applications.
- Voltage Configurations: Common options include 13.2 kV to 480Y/277V with custom configurations available.
Three-Phase Padmount Transformers
Designed for balanced, high-capacity performance, making them a great choice for utility-scale solar farms, commercial rooftop systems, and energy storage integrations.
- Use Case: Great for distributing power to residential neighborhoods, rural solar feeds, and small commercial arrays.
- Typical Ratings: 15–167 kVA covering most residential and light solar distribution needs.
- Voltage Configurations: Common setups from 7.2/12.47 kV primary down to 240/120V secondary, ideal for grid-tied solar systems.
