Frost & Sullivan Presents New Product Innovation Award to Enecsys for its Pioneering Micro Inverters PR Newswire LONDON, Sept. 11, 2012 - Enecsys's innovative micro inverters provide 5 per cent to 10 per cent more energy harvest than conventional equivalents LONDON, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the solar inverters market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Enecsys with the 2012 Europe New Product Innovation Award for its highly innovative micro inverters. "Enecsys has successfully addressed the issue of differential harvest with its novel micro inverters," notes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Gautham Gnanajothi. "Their unique selling point is that they provide 5 per cent to 10 per cent more energy harvest than either a conventional string inverter or a central inverter. Such smart energy conversion facilitates higher return on investment (ROI) for customers since the differential harvest is more." The increase in overall energy harvest is achieved through a panel-matching basis, where each inverter is attached to individual modules connected in parallel. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is done on a panel level, which results in the optimal performance of each module. This ultimately lowers the energy cost incurred by the consumer. Enecsys has essentially redesigned the micro inverter, eliminating life limiting components, such as electrolytic capacitors.
