Solis launches 60 kW and 125 kW string inverters for US, Canadian markets
Solis has developed new 125 kW and 60 kW string inverters for the US and Canadian markets, both with a maximum efficiency of at least 98.5%
US startup offers AI-based software solution to predict component failure in utility-scale inverters
Infinrel says its Energy Kardio Graph solution can sample small electrical perturbations on the input and output of the inverter at MHz scale and enable insight into the actual operation of the inverter on its switching cycle basis.
Dutch hackers report flaws in Enphase IQ Gateway devices
Two “ethical” hackers from the Dutch Institute of Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) have identified six vulnerabilities in Enphase IQ Gateway devices. The researchers are now working with the US inverter manufacturer to address the bugs in the next version of the product.
New approach to measure PV inverter degradation in semi-arid climates
New research from Morocco has found that the Sandia PV Array Performance Model is the most suitable for measuring AC power in PV systems located in arid-climate conditions. The scientists conducted a series of tests a three different PV systems located at a testing facility in Ben Guerir, in central Morocco.

Chinese PV Industry Brief: CEEC launches 15 GW inverter procurement plan
Inverter manufacturers such as Sungrow, Huawei, Sineng, Growatt, Kstar, and TBEA are all participating in CEEC’s procurement scheme, which aims to source around 15 GW of products.
New battery sizing approach for virtual synchronous generators, control-based grid-forming inverters
A group of researchers in Australia has outlined a new methodology to determine the minimum power rating of energy storage systems (ESSs) used for emergency under-frequency response. The ESS size must be calculated to maintain the frequency within the standard operating range.
Bill aims to cut 45X tax credits for Chinese solar makers in the U.S.
While the lucrative tax credits has attracted clean energy manufacturers from around the world to build factories in the U.S., the fact that many of the new manufacturing facilities are from Chinese companies has created a controversy that this new bill aims to solve.
