Enecsys Launches First Solar PV Micro-Inverter for European and North American Markets

Enecsys Limited announces the launch of the first solar PV grid-connected micro-inverter for both the European and North American markets. A solar PV system based on Enecsys micro-inverters will have improved energy harvest and therefore cut the cost of harvested power by up to 20% over the lifetime of the installation compared with a conventional system using string inverters. The Enecsys solar micro-inverter is also designed for high reliability... 

Mobile Solar Power Generator

Mobile Solar Power manufactures a range of portable solar-powered generators that integrate PV panels, inverters, charge controllers, and lead-acid storage batteries into a self-contained trailer that keeps all components other than the PV modules fully protected and out of the elements. Used as a silent, more environmentally responsible replacement for portable diesel generators, these units are available in multiple models with maximum energy storage...

DuPont and Applied Materials Collaborate to Boost Solar Cell Efficiency

DuPont and Applied Materials, Inc. announced a collaboration to advance multiple printing technology that is expected to increase the absolute efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. By increasing the efficiency and yield of solar cells and modules, PV power can become more cost effective versus other forms of energy. The collaboration reflects DuPont’s recently announced commitment to focus on meeting four emerging... 

SolarDuct PV/T

SolarDuct PV/T is a combined thermal and photovoltaic rooftop solar collector for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. It preheats ventilation air before it enters the air handlers, reducing the heating requirements of fresh-air ventilation. A typical eight-unit array delivers up to 2000 cfm of heated ventilation air and 8 kW of heating. The thermal panels draw heat away from the mounted PV cells, increasing their efficiency by as...
