Who are we?
mPowerSolar Inc.,(mPowerSolar) is one of the leading vendors of highly reliable and fully scalable integrated solar power conversion systems that would accelerate the pace of the ongoing solar revolution. mPowerSolar, founded in 2009, offers centralized inverters, single-phase micro-inverters and power optimizers. The company also offers the industry's first true 3-phase micro-inverter with an efficiency of 94.5%. mPowerSolar's nascent product, AltiorTM -208V-300W micro-inverter is the complete BOS in a box that could be used for commercial PV Solar installations. The company is funded by private investors.
Improving overall system efficiencies and lowering the cost without sacrificing reliability has been the problem statement for Solar PV installers since the resurgence of PV in 2006. At mPowerSolar, we are solely focused on developing distributed power conversion systems to help our customers achieve their cost, performance and reliability goals. Leveraging years of research and experience in Power Electronics and Systems Engineering, we have been focused on developing distributed converters for the commercial and residential PV installations. We have, since early 2009, embarked on a path that would accelerate PV Solar's journey to grid parity. The AltiorTM platform was a major step in that direction.
AltiorTM 300 - 208V, our nascent product, is the first 3-phase micro-inverter introduced in the industry and was aimed at bringing the micro-inverter revolution to commercial installations. The mPowerSolar team was able to take the product from specification to UL certification in 11 months with the second spin of proto-type boards ready for customer demos. Working with credible partners, the entire product design (including enclosure design and custom cables) was completed and submitted for UL certification. Altior platform design has 3 patents filed - trans-conductance based MPPT, fool-proof anti-islanding method and resonant DC converter based booster. Along with the micro-inverter, the complete monitoring and reporting system with an ARM based Information Gateway was developed to showcase the complete solution.
SwordfishTM 1-phase micro-inverter product shares the same technology of the AltiorTM platform and leverages several key patents from it to outperform existing solutions, substantially improve reliability and yet deliver a very cost-effective solution. SwordfishTM micro-inverters are developed on an extremely small and powerful digital signal controller (DSC) that offers a comprehensive feature set capable of performing complex mathematical computations, time-critical control loops, robust communication protocols and security features.
Alliances and Partnerships: mPowerSolar is extremely happy to announce their partnership with New Generation Power (NGP), Chicago IL. As part of NGP's effort to develop the eco-system, they have decided to work with mPowerSolar for all their roof-top power electronics needs including micro-inverters and monitoring systems for an extended period. NGP will use mPowerSolar products in all of their roof-top applications and pursue a focused co-branding effort for all the micro-inverter products. NGP would also help with the manufacturing and customization of the micro-inverter products to suit their roof-top market needs.
