About Delta
Delta is the world’s largest power electronics company and a leading manufacturer of switching power supplies, telecom power
supplies, DC brushless fans, thermal management solutions, industrial automation, datacentre solutions, networking, and renewable
energy products. With over 40 years’ experience in manufacturing, Delta specialises in OEM and ODM, meaning it designs and
manufactures electrical products for some of the largest electronics brands in the world.
Headquartered in Taiwan, Delta’s entire global operation consists of over 153 offices, 38 manufacturing plants, 60 R&D centres,
and 70,000 employees dedicated to the pursuit of innovative and efficient technologies that deliver the brand’s promise of: “Smarter.
Greener, Together.”
Delta’s vision for a greener, cleaner, more energy-efficient future, is inspiring people to change the way they manage and consume
energy. Leading by example, Delta’s green manufacturing processes, recycling and waste management programs and the
construction of Diamond and Gold LEED certified green buildings has earned its place in the Dow Jones Sustainability™ World
Index (DJSI World) for the last four years.
Delta began developing its solar inverters at its German research and development centre almost 20 years ago and with their
unsurpassed experience in power electronics, have been able to achieve some of the best in efficiency, reliability and power
conversion rates in the industry, with leading efficiencies including:
• The world’s first server power supply certified as 80 Plus Titanium, with over 96% efficiency,
• PV inverters at up to 98.7% efficiency,
• Switching power supplies at over 90% efficiency, and
• Telecom power with up to 97.5% efficiency.
 Export Control
Delta’s inverters are compatible with a large range of third party Zero Export solutions, offering highly responsive RS485 load-
following as well as universal 4-bit digital input control, maximising self-consumption.
Quick load following response times are critical to achieve efficient export control from a PV system. Delta’s advanced
algorithms enable their inverters to follow the power set more precisely and respond faster to changes in the load, avoiding
disconnection due to reverse power protection.
The graphs below are from a test conducted in Australia to simulate a real-world application. They demonstrate the response
times of two different brands of inverters over a three minute period, in 2-5 second intervals.
As illustrated below, Delta’s algorithms enable their inverters to follow the load more precisely and respond faster to changes;
resulting in the maximum possible PV power being used on site. In contrast, the non-Delta inverter tested was erratic and
unable to ramp up and down in accordance with the changing power set, which inevitably leads to lost production.
