This UL certification is part of Tigo’s multivendor initiative providing customers with the advantages of reliable, safe, and cost-effective solutions. The use of Tigo smart modules and high-efficiency inverters allows design flexibility for installers to comply with National Electric Code (NEC) 2017 690.12 RSS regulations. Tigo has also been internationally recognized as the only module-level power electronic vendor with UL-certified RSS with multiple PV module manufacturers. To learn more about Tigo’s RSS solutions, join Tigo’s online NABCEP-accredited trainings.

Bidirectional DC/DC transmission is anticipated to gain ground as it can be used for braking energy recovery, auxiliary battery/capacitor charging and discharging, and high/low-voltage energy conversion of 48V micro-hybrid models. Bidirectional DC/DC solutions are more efficient, less occupied and more affordable than the reverse parallel of 2 unidirectional DC/DC converters, typically finding application in Toyota Prius.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, alternative-fueled vehicles, a category that includes both hydrogen fuel cell and battery-powered electric, are not more hazardous than traditional internal combustion engines. The NFPA’s statistics reveal that approximately every 3 minutes there is a car fire in the U.S. from an internal combustion engine vehicle.

Chinese solar inverter manufacturers are subject to a 10 percent tariff, which races to 25 percent Jan. 1, a directive from the Trump administration’s Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

Other accommodation options are available nearby including: Lyrebird Cottages,Santuary House Resort Motel and many others in and around Healesville including a large number of AirBnB options.

So, yes, DC transformerless is a streamlined, future-proof architecture, but you will be making a compromise in efficiency somewhere. Well, except with the Sol-Ark inverter.

The systems comprise 250 kW of solar panels, 220 kW of solar inverters and nearly 600 kWh of lithium battery energy storage coupled with a high efficiency diesel generator to enable back up power, the company said.

Top most power analyzer: LMG671. Dual path path feature with accuracy as high as 0.015%. Right power channel for your measurement (A/B/C channels).

TYLT’s Block Party Charging Station & Bluetooth Speaker does everything it claims. It’s a little dated in terms of current mobile device technology, though—the lack of a wireless charge pad seems like a missed opportunity, and there is no USB-C option. At $199.95, it’s also on the pricey side.

5. Old Mike was a conservative-leaning talk radio fan who loved muscle cars. (He has a 1970 Chevelle in mint condition parked in his garage next to his hybrid.) He was not an environmentalist.

DC systems begin to lose their cost advantage, however, as system sizes become larger. As the size of solar and storage increases, economies of scale realized via power conversion and other hardware components don’t translate to overall system capex, as PV modules and batteries start to make up more of the cost stack.
