Enphase reports that both the IQ8HC and IQ8X are designed to pair with a full range of solar modules up to 540 W.

Scientists from China have developed a novel system that can detect DC arcs in PV installations through a back-propagation neural network. The novel technique reportedly ensures a detection time of less than 200 ms.

SAJ’s new M2 microinverters support PV panels ranging in size from 400 W to 700 W. They have a maximum output of 2,250 VA, with four maximum power point tracking (MPPT) channels. The company claims a peak efficiency of 97%.

The Netherlands-based home and office energy specialist raised capital to expand its offering into Italy, Spain, France, and Scandinavia. It is already active in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

The new algorithm monitors the inverter subsystems and sends alarms when maximum and minimum values are reached. It analyzes data and categorizes variables according to historic values. 

US investment firm BlackRock says it has increased its ownership interest in Israel’s SolarEdge.

Smart Railway Technology’s new PV2Rail inverters are designed to feed directly into 16.7 Hertz (Hz) railway power grids.

Germany-based BMZ Group has unveiled a plug-and-play, AC-coupled, outdoor commercial battery energy storage solution that can store from 68 kWh to 204 kWh of energy. The 10-foot container comes with an integrated inverter and a 10-year warranty.

Chinese manufacturer Vaysunic New Energy has developed eight versions of its VM microinverters. Their AC output power ranges from 600 W to 1,000 W.

Enphase says it plans to let go of 10% of its employees, in addition to shutting down contract manufacturing in the United States and Romania.
