Meanwhile, ABB Ltd’s annual dividend is $0.8 per share and it also boasts of a 3.96% dividend yield. No dividend is paid out for Tecogen Inc.

New technologies are allowing photovoltaic (PV) inverters to switch at ever higher frequencies. Consequently, these inverters are becoming much smaller and lighter. Meanwhile, international competition and reduced available subsidies for new installations brings strong pressure on cost. The current transducers used in PV inverters must follow the trends: they must have a reduced footprint while maintaining or improving performance at a lower cost, as compared to the transducers they replace. Typically, PV installations use current transducers in three places. On the DC side, they are needed for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system. On the AC side, they are used to define the parameters of the output current waveform, and in the safety system as an important component of ground fault or residual current monitors (RCM).

Some forecasters are saying that the wicked weather that is headed into Michigan on Sunday is a wind storm known as a “bomb cyclone” and it threatens to rip up trees and knock out power across the state.

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (NASDAQ:AOSL) and China Sunergy (OTCMKTS:CSUNY) are both small-cap computer and technology companies, but which is the better business? We will contrast the two companies based on the strength of their earnings, profitability, analyst recommendations, institutional ownership, dividends, valuation and risk.

Considering the fast life we are living today, our lives rely a lot on our phones. So having a power packed battery is a must.

Gallium oxide (GaO) is another semiconductor material with a wide bandgap. GaO has poor thermal conductivity, but its bandgap (about 4.8 eV) exceeds that of SiC, GaN, and Si. However, GaO will need more R&D before becoming a major power-system participant.

Solar customers with hybrid inverters paired with batteries can choose to store power during the peak solar production times in the afternoon and consume that power in the evening, when electricity costs are highest.

Vehicle Type: Battery Electric Vehicle, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
