Tabuchi and Ampt will be collaborating on product advancements employing Tabuchi inverters and Ampt DC optimizers.
Tabuchi is the number-five solar inverter manufacturer in the world, according to Raymond James & Associates. The company recently entered the North American market with the launch of a residential solar + storage solution (EneTelus Intelligent Battery System), and began offering an inverter to commercial customers called the EneTelus Mega Value System (EMVAS).
Ampt's DC Optimizers are used in commercial and utility-scale PV systems to lower the day-one cost while increasing performance. Ampt DC Optimizers allow inverters to operate in Ampt Mode, which increases inverter rated output power to reduce the inverter cost per watt.
"Ampt-optimized systems are distinguished from other solutions by uniquely delivering a true spend-less-get-more value proposition lowering the day-one cost of PV systems while improving performance," said Harumi McClure, Managing Director at Tabuchi Electric.
"The market opportunity is clear, and we're excited to collaborate on a fully-optimized line of inverters, tailored to be deployed with Ampt's DC optimizers. This combination will be a high-value solution for our large-scale customers."
Additionally, Tabuchi has joined Ampt in the HDPV Alliance, an industry-wide organization built to foster a common vision for the development and adoption of lower cost and higher performing PV systems using distributed power optimization (DPO). HDPV, or High Definition PV, uses defined standards, tested compatibility and shared best practices to deliver products and services that optimize PV systems.
"Tabuchi is one of the most highly-respected companies in the inverter space, with a global presence and nearly a century of experience making quality electronics," said Levent Gun, CEO of Ampt. "The collaboration will be driven by our shared mission of advancing lower-cost, highest quality PV systems for customers that help move the industry forward."
