Innovation & Technical Leadership For The Future Of Distributed Solar
PV Powered is the innovation leader for grid-tied PV inverters in the residential, commercial and utility markets, setting the industry standard for reliability, installability and maintainability. Founded in Bend, OR in 2003, and recently acquired by Advanced Energy Industries (Nasdaq: AEIS), the company's vision is to tackle three of the most significant challenges affecting the future growth of solar power world-wide.

(1) Dramatically improve inverter reliability.
(2) Decrease the overall system lifecycle costs.
(3) Make distributed PV a scalable and controllable resource on the utility grid.
We believe that we have solved the significant challenge of solar inverter reliability. Our work with Boeing under the Solar America Initiative has lead to the introduction of new materials, system design rules and breakthrough modeling of our inverters at the component, sub-system and overall system level. These breakthroughs have been validated through extensive accelerated life and endurance testing at our facilities and through monitored field installations.
Here Gregg Patterson, CEO and Steve Hummel, VP of Engineering talk about the company and how we have designed a new commercial inverter platform for 20+ years of reliable operation.
