Insurance Services
York Alternative Risk Solutions
The Renewable Energy Captive is a captive insurance company created to provide a Workers Compensation, General Liability, and Auto Liability insurance alternative for business owners engaged in the renewable energy indus- try. Captive insurance gives members the ability to turn their insurance premium into a pro t center. The members of the captive have success- fully created a program where the members take control of their insurance program. By owning their own insurance company, they tailor their risk management to their needs, not an insurance company’s needs. Members have the ability to recoup up to 60% of their paid in premium, based on their company’s loss experience. www.renewableenergycaptive.com
Inverters

CyboEnergy
The On/Off-Grid CyboInverter has an on-grid AC output port and an off-grid AC output port. Each inverter has 4 input channels that can connect to solar, wind, or batter- ies and produce 1150W AC power. Each input channel has its own MPPT to elimi- nate partial shading issues. It can work in either on-grid or off-grid mode, and switch between the two modes automatically depending on the grid condition. The system can generate power to the grid when the grid is on and can provide backup power when the grid is down. The product is patented, UL1741 certi ed, NEMA 6 (IP67) rated, and made in the USA. www.cyboenergy.com
Darfon America Corp.
Darfon’s H5001 hybrid inverter was designed
to make things easier for installers and cut installation time. The H5001 includes built-in charge controllers, PV combiner boxes, distribu- tion box for breakers, disconnect switches, to land PV wires, and generator support circuitry, which eliminates much of the labor and cost. The H5001 was intended for energy storage solutions, but it can also be installed as a string inverter in PV systems that don’t need immedi- ate battery storage. The H5001 supports a wide range of applications, including off-grid, self-use, net-metering, backup, and time-of-use. www.darfonsolar.com
Delta Products Corporation
The M80U is a grid-tied, 3-phase transformer-
less inverter for commercial applications. A two-stage design allows a wide input opera-
tion range spanning from 200 to 1000VDC. The M80U provides a peak ef ciency of 98.8% and a California Energy Commission ef ciency of 98.5%. The device's all-in-one design integrates up to 18 strings with fuse protection as well as arc fault detection circuits. It employs a NEMA 4X Enclosure to protect personnel and operate under extreme environmental conditions. The M80U is equipped with two MPP trackers. Ergonomic handles and eye bolt locations make installation easy. www.delta-americas.com
