8501.80.10.00 - Of an output not exceeding 75 kVA

This HTS category, 8501.80.10.00, specifically classifies photovoltaic AC generators whose electrical output does not exceed 75 kVA. These are devices designed to convert solar energy into alternating current (AC) electricity and are typically used in smaller-scale solar power installations, such as residential solar systems or smaller commercial applications. The defining characteristic for this classification is the upper limit of their power output capacity.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8501.80.20.00, 8501.80.30.00, and 8501.80.90.00, hinges entirely on their rated power output. While this node covers generators up to 75 kVA, the sibling categories classify generators with higher capacities, ranging from exceeding 75 kVA up to 375 kVA, exceeding 375 kVA up to 750 kVA, and any other photovoltaic AC generators not falling within these specific ranges, respectively. The core functionality remains the same; the distinction is purely quantitative regarding the maximum electrical power they can produce.

As a leaf node within the HTS classification system, 8501.80.10.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a photovoltaic AC generator under this code is final once its output is determined to be 75 kVA or less and it meets the general requirements for a photovoltaic AC generator under heading 8501. When classifying, ensure the device's primary function is the generation of AC electricity directly from solar irradiation, and that the stated nominal output is within the specified limit.
