- Offer Profile
- Converting energy obtained
from the light of the sun into mains-compliant alternating current – in 1991
this idea formed the basis for the foundation of the company Sputnik
Engineering AG by three ambitious young engineers. Today it ranges amongst
the worldwide leading manufacturers of grid-connected solar inverters and
matching solutions for system monitoring.
The products of the SolarMax
brand are suitable for any field of application, from photovoltaic systems
in single-family homes up to solar power plants in the megawatts range. They
are characterised by Swiss quality: highest efficiency, operational
reliability, and durability, complemented by an extraordinary after sales.
Product Portfolio
For any need and all system dimensions
- The SolarMax product range covers every need.
Regardless of whether it is a photovoltaic system for a single- or
multi-family home, for an agricultural or industrial building, or whether it
is about a megawatts power station: the SolarMax string and central
inverters reliably and efficiently convert direct current into
mains-compliant alternating current. Furthermore, the product family
comprises a series of communication and monitoring solutions, as well as
software tools developed for specific assignments.

Solar Inverters
String inverters
- Powerhouses for maximum yields
The single- and three-phase string inverters with rated outputs of 1.8 to
15kW are designed for smaller and medium solar power systems. SolarMax S series
- Single-phase string inverters (2 – 5 kW)
The extremely small, single-phase inverter can be handled comfortably, are
reliable and powerful. They can be mounted very quickly and extended easily.
Efficiencies of up to 97% and high-quality processing also allowing for
outdoor installation turn these string inverters into an investment that
pays off.
SolarMax MT series
- Three-phase string inverters (10 – 15 kW)
Three-phase infeed inverter with high efficiency. The string inverters of
the MT series are suitable for medium-sized domestic systems already, but
their range of application is up to large-scale industrial projects. Thanks
to the multi-tracking concept different angles of inclination and
orientations can be achieved easily.
Central inverters
- Compact and flexible: solutions for medium- and
large-scale systems
The SolarMax central inverters impress with compact
design, flexibility, and extraordinary price-performance ratio. Their field
of application covers medium-scale systems with 20kW up to power stations in
the range of megawatts.
Since the first SolarMax central inverter was commissioned in 1992, the
devices have been constantly further developed. Today they are used all over
the world and prove their reliability on a day-to-day basis. SolarMax S series
- 20 kW – 35 kW
The transformer-less inverters of the S series are extremely compact and
suitable for outdoor installation. Despite their low price they achieve very
high levels of efficiency.
SolarMax C series
- 20 kW – 35 kW
These reliable central inverters with galvanic separation and outputs of up
to 35kW achieve high energy yields and provide for the highest operational
safety with minimum system costs.
SolarMax TS series
- 50 kW – 300 kW
The TS series is the consequent further development of the proven C series.
Maximum energy yields and highest levels of flexibility – the devices of
this series are geared up for the future.
SolarMax TS-SV
- 330 kW
The SolarMax 330TS-SV is the best choice for PV installations directly
connected to the medium-voltage network. Thanks to the use of film
capacitors, this inverter is particularly durable and reliable.
Power Station
- Foray into the megawatts range
The SolarMax Power Station is the right choice for large-scale photovoltaic
installations directly connected to the medium-voltage network. It consists
of up to four 330TS-SV inverters, together capable of providing an output of
1.32MW.
MaxConnect plus
- Generator connection box (aluminium casing)
MaxConnect plus makes it possible to bundle the individual strings of your
PV generators.
MaxConnect plus p
- Generator connection box (thermoplast casing)
MaxConnect plus p makes it possible to bundle the individual strings of
your PV generators.
Data communication
- Individual system monitoring with MaxComm
The SolarMax product portfolio comprises the modular communication platform
MaxComm. All inverters are equipped with corresponding interfaces. MaxComm
- The MaxComm communication platform is designed modularly.
Analysis of the data of a single-family home can be implemented as easily as
monitoring a large-scale system, whether on site or remotely. All modules
and options have been developed and produced by Sputnik specifically for the
range of SolarMax inverters.
MaxWeb xp
- The data logger MaxWeb xp forms the node of the
location-independent monitoring of a photovoltaic system.
MaxWeb Portal
- With the MaxWeb portal, Sputnik Engineering offers a
solution for monitoring and presenting photovoltaic systems on the internet.
MaxTalk
- User-friendly PC software for local communication and for
occasionally local monitoring of the system.
MaxVisio
- MaxVisio is a graphical display unit with touch display
both for the values of the entire system and for individual inverters.
Accessories
- Further useful items such as MaxMeteo, MaxCount,
connector mains adapter, antenna SF 916, MaxComm Bus repeater, equipotential
bonding set.
Software
