Rockcore, a well-established Chinese company in the manufacture of solar energy technology, announced its entry into the Brazilian market with the launch of the PowerPad600, an ultra-thin microinverter that promises to simplify the installation of solar systems and raise the standard of electrical safety in the country.
The arrival comes at a time of accelerated expansion of solar energy in Brazil, where the country is maturing in technical, regulatory and structural aspects.
In this context, solutions that combine high performance, security, and operational efficiency are gaining relevance among integrators and consumers.
According to the company, the new product is designed to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety during operation.
Supporting up to 750W of input power per module and 600W of AC output, the PowerPad600 follows the trend of high-power modules, preserving system performance and simplifying electrical sizing.
The microinverter operates between -40°C and +65°C and incorporates an intelligent power control system that automatically adjusts operation in severe thermal scenarios, maintaining stability and extending the lifespan of the components.
Efficiency exceeding 95% indicates attention to performance even on heated surfaces, common in residential roofs.
According to the company, the key difference lies in the patented design of the PowerPad600, which places it among the most innovative solutions on the global market.
At only 2 cm thick, the device simplifies installation by eliminating the need for junction boxes in the roof.
The integrated installation eliminates junction boxes on the roof and reduces direct current runs, one of the main risk factors for electric arcs and thermal failures.
In practice, the module begins to function as a self-contained alternating current unit, with fewer points of failure and less technical complexity.
“Brazil is ready for a new generation of solar technology. We believe the PowerPad600 will be a game-changer for integrators and consumers seeking more robust, intelligent, and sustainable systems,” stated Vinícius Luiz, Country Manager of Rockcore in Brazil.
Advanced connectivity and security features
Electrical safety is one of the cornerstones of the solution. In addition to its isolated transformer topology, the PowerPad600 is certified. AFCI Approved by INMETRO, it is capable of automatically monitoring and interrupting arc flash faults, identified as one of the main causes of fires in solar systems.
The executive explains that the feature brings the technology into line with international safety standards, which are especially relevant in residential settings.
“Rockcore’s solutions are designed to prevent risks before they happen. The AFCI certification demonstrates our commitment to advanced safety, something essential in a country with a harsh climate like Brazil,” Luiz emphasized.
Another highlight is the integrated connectivity. Through Wi-Fi and the dedicated app, installers can monitor the system's performance module by module, identifying any losses due to shading, dirt, or wear and tear—factors that directly impact generation over time.
During the installation process, a unique feature simplifies fieldwork: batch configuration.
When installing multiple microinverters, the technician performs the process only once, replicating the parameters for the other units. This experience reduces the total installation time, speeds up the approval process, and improves the end-customer experience.
“With this feature, the setup and monitoring process becomes faster and more efficient. The result is a quicker installation and a product that is easier to sell and integrate into the market,” explained Luiz.
Logistical impact and cost reduction
The innovative design also has implications for the supply chain. Because the PowerPad600 is coupled to the module itself, distributors can receive panels and microinverters in the same container, eliminating the need for separate imports.
“This reduces operational costs and makes the product more competitive in the Brazilian market. It’s a solution with a direct effect on the final price and profitability of partners. Because the PowerPad600 is integrated directly into the solar panel, distributors will not need to import separate containers for the panels and microinverters. This results in a significant cost reduction, both in the product price and in operational expenses related to importing,” emphasized Luiz.
In addition to reducing electrical risks associated with installation, the model facilitates future expansions and allows for designs adapted to the characteristics of each roof, a context that is especially relevant in Brazil, where residential buildings have multiple orientations and space limitations.
