MICROINVERTER DEVELOPMENT

Inverters are needed to convert DC current generated by solar panels to AC current used on the grid and everyday devices. However, inverters are cost-prohibitive at residential scale or smaller. Affordable and reliable microinverters, which function like inverters but on the scale of a single panel, can reduce system-level costs of solar energy. This would address the need to cleanly power small agricultural machinery and personal electronics in remote, off-grid areas. We are currently developing at the power stage f our own microinverter design.
