Lightweight density microinverter

Compact microinverterSPARQ Systems Inc. has launched its first product, a reliable, high-efficiency compact microinverter for use with solar photovoltaic panels. A powerful energy harvester, SPARQ’s microinverter systems are 30% more efficient than conventional string inverter technology, operating even under very low light conditions, or under partial shading or snow—turning on earlier in the morning and working later in the evening. And, because SPARQ microinverters allow each PV panel to operate independently, they eliminate the “Christmas tree” effect of conventional string inverter systems, where the shading or failure of one unit affects nearby panels. This makes the SPARQ microinverter uniquely suited to urban areas, where light conditions are highly variable. The SPARQ product also features an industry first: a 25-year lifespan, which exceeds that of solar panels.
