Sustainable Energy Technologies Ltd. (Calgary, Alberta, Canada), a developer of power electronics for renewable energy applications, debuted its first product offering to the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry, the SUNERGY 5 wall-mounted, convection-cooled, 5 kW, grid-connected, PV inverter in a cast-aluminum alloy enclosure.

The SUNERGY 5 is built around a universal power inverter platform that will support multiple product offerings for the emerging distributed generation industry. First developed for the stationary fuel cell industry, the power inverter platform incorporates patented technology that directly links the power source to the grid in a single power conversion step.

The SUNERGY 5 power inverter platform has undergone extensive testing and field trials as part of fuel cell demonstrations in North America, Europe and Japan.
