The trend toward e-mobility is finally gaining traction in the market, as more and more vehicles of all kinds are being outfitted with energy efficient and zero emission drives. Besides cars, they ...

The lead-in to this post is here: Micro-inverters offer one solution for optimizing solar efficiency. Probably the most well-known micro-inverter company is Enphase, which sells a 200W inverter for ...

A group of scientists from India has developed a novel single-source switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The novel SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional ...

Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

Enecsys claims that its 240W micro-inverters are the first to achieve UL certification without electrolytic capacitors. The photovoltaic (PV) micro-inverter is also certified for use in Europe. With ...
