Here’s a list of micro-inverter companies (and some proposed new installations)

Reader Jim K left a comment on Monday’s post, “Micro-inverters offer one solution for optimizing solar efficiency,” asking for a list of micro-inverter companies. As mentioned, Enphase is the only one that I know of that’s shipping product, but here’s a list of companies which have made announcements at least of their intention to sell micro-inverters:

• ·         Accurate Solar
• ·         Array Converter
• ·         Enecsys
• ·         Enphase
• ·         eIQ Energy
• ·         GreenRay Solar
• ·         Petra Solar
• ·         Solar Bridge

 Here’s an interesting spreadsheet maintained by the California Solar Initiative that lists proposed solar installations that are applying for incentives under the California Solar Initiative. One of the columns lists “Inverter” and you can sort the spreadsheet by inverter manufacturer. The projects listing “Enphase” are using a micro-inverter(s), and it looks like there are about 800 of them. (This is irrespective of the size of the installation.)

The pointer to the CSI spreadsheet is via GreenTech Media, an excellent source for solar news.
