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.

“The Town of Boxborough is supportive of solar energy system projects and the solar array at 1414 Massachusetts Ave. recently constructed by Green Street Power Partners. Their team is the latest example of how the Town is working with private entities to provide renewable energy options for its residents and businesses” said Adam L. Duchesneau, town planner for Boxborough. “Since there are limited solar energy system opportunities on municipal land, we hope this project encourages other land owners to explore ways in which they can make their properties more sustainable or even provide direct energy benefits to others within the community.”

Transphorm employs a cascode configuration with a depletion mode GaN (Fig. 8). This provides the ruggedness of a silicon gate, coupled with the improved voltage-blocking characteristics of a high-voltage GaN. There are no special requirements for the gate driver since the gate is connected to a standard silicon gate rated at ±20 V with a threshold around 2 V.

On the road, Toyota’s E-Four (Hybrid Synergy Drive) system creates electronic all-wheel drive, relying on the front-mounted 2.4-liter engine and electric motor tandem to power the front wheels during normal driving. When extra traction is needed, the system powers the rear wheels independently with the rear electric motor. The system can also use only electric power during low-speed urban driving. The powertrain offers an estimated 43 mpg UK, according to Campervan Co, and also gives the van more traction in slick winter weather and off-road driving conditions — not a bad combination for a camper van.

Inverters are a part of the solar photovoltaic system that converts the direct current from the solar array into alternating current power, which is then distributed onto the electric grid. The inverters monitor and control the solar photovoltaic systems.

The H5001 hybrid inverter has undergone some physical changes. The H5001 now comes with a lockable distribution box and lockable external PV disconnect for extra security. The conduit knockouts are laser-cut for easy removal and consistency in size. Also, the access cover is easier to remove for installers to program the AP registers.

Compared with standard silicon PN-junction diodes, the 650V Series SiC Schottky diodes support dramatic reductions in switching losses and substantial increases in the efficiency and robustness of a power electronics system. Because they dissipate less energy and can operate at higher junction temperatures than Si-based solutions, they allow for smaller heat sinks and a smaller system footprint, providing end-users with the advantages of more compact, energy-efficient systems and the potential for a lower total cost of ownership.

Power analyzers are able to measure a variety of parameters associated with power consumption and generation at frequencies that range from 50 / 60 Hz right up to many kilohertz.

We also have Fluke 437 Series II 400 Hz Power Quality Monitor for Avionic and Military applications. Fluke 437 Series II is the must-have 400 Hz Power Quality Analyzer which is specifically designed for capturing power quality measurements in 400HAz system commonly found in GPU for Aircrafts, Shipboard Power Supply System and Defense applications. The shipboard power measurement system analyzes according to MIL-STD 1399 to automatically give a full evaluation of voltage, current and power according to the standard.
