Optimizers & Inverters

Also on the rise: SEIA fires back at A-SMACC’s antidumping tariff request, and Enphase launches a microinverter line for microgrids.

Also on the rise: Facebook signs a PPA for 160 MW in Virginia, and the solar sector provided jobs to 231,000 in the U.S. in 2020.

States don’t need to reinvent the wheel when evaluating smart inverter requirements, said a Sunrun policy director, noting that delays in setting requirements could lead to “wasted infrastructure.”

Smart inverters have opened up opportunities for people with smart inverters to be paid for providing stored energy on demand and other grid services.

For the residential solar industry in the U.S. to grow, the field of technological innovation and solution diversity must grow beyond the current market share.

A root cause report on a West Texas power disturbance found that, in many cases, the solar industry “is not proactively identifying abnormal performance issues” related to inverter-based resources.

The company supplied its power station, which integrates a 3.28 MW solar PV inverter, a pad mounted medium voltage transformer, an auxiliary services transformer and a low voltage panel.

The company will use the funds to expand its team, as it looks to show off the innovation of its cell-level battery management system and inverter technology.

Also on the rise: Sandia develops a grid-scale battery storage technology, NREL researchers write code to make legacy inverters smarter, and take a moment to admire these solar panels.
