SPARQ Systems Unveils Smart Grid Ready Micro-Inverter
SPARQ Systems announced the release of its advanced Smart Grid-ready microinverter. SPARQ has created an all-in-one product that is auto-configurable to any jurisdiction, worldwide. It is the only product on the market compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power frequency and it is Smart-Grid ready. As well, SPARQ microinverters now give utility operators the ability to control reactive power, leading to greater grid reliability and reducing brown-outs.
The SPARQ product provides industry and homeowners with lighter, more efficient, and more economically prized solutions for harvesting maximum solar power.
"With our unique software-based design, we’ve created a product that is ready for the future, right now," says Dr. Praveen Jain, Chief Technologist and CEO of SPARQ Systems. "It gives us the ability to reconfigure and customize simply by changing the software."
Powered by advanced digital control software, SPARQ’s innovative approach eliminates electrolytic capacitors and optical isolators and uses fewer energy conversion stages. This allows SPARQ to deliver the smallest, most flexible and most reliable microinverter with enhanced energy harvest and with the ability to reduce costs to the lowest of any microinverter technology on the market.
SPARQ’s 60Hz microinverters were certified in North America in 2011. Certification is pending for its international products.
