Enecsys Micro-Inverter Wins Technology Excellence Award

Enecsys Limited, a UK micro-inverter company, has won the award for Excellence in the Field

of Environmental Technology at the CleanEquity Awards Ceremony for its microinverter.

Innovator Capital and the Monaco Chamber of Economic Development hosted the two-day annual

CleanEquity event at which the world's most promising next-generation clean technology

companies presented their credentials to financial and strategic investors, policy makers,

the media and end-users. The field included 34 clean technology companies from four

continents. The invitation-only CleanEquity Monaco event, presided over by His Serene

Highness (HSH) Prince Albert II of Monaco, was held on 4 March 2011.

The Enecsys microinverter represents a breakthrough in inverter design for residential and

commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Its patented technology has, eliminated

components that limit inverter life. Originally developed at Cambridge University in the UK,

the Enecsys microinverter enables solar PV systems to harvest between 5% and 20% more energy

over their lifetime. It eliminates the high-voltage direct current (DC) wiring and it

enhances system optimisation by monitoring the performance of each solar module. It also

eliminates the string inverter, a common source of failure.

The Enecsys microinverter is available in both Europe and North America and matches the

operating life of solar modules (more than 25 years), operates from -40° to +85° C and is

warranted for 20 years. Enecsys micro-inverters are installed on the mounting rack behind the

solar modules, either one inverter per solar module, or one for every two modules.
