Ideal Power Converters (IPC) advised that its 30kW PV inverter, IPV-30kW-480 had been confirmed by Intertek as conforming to UL standard 1741 and is now included on the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) list of approved PC inverter products. As part of the CEC list, IPC’s inverter can be installed in California and across the US.
Intertek’s independent testing made sure that IPC completed industry certification and CEC efficiency testing in order for the company to use the ETL certification mark. The company’s 30kW inverter achieved a CEC-weighted efficiency of 96.5%.

“The CEC listing is a significant landmark for the company and we look forward to assisting the solar industry in developing more efficient, cost-effective, reliable and safer PV systems,” said Paul Bundschuh, vice president of business development for Ideal Power Converters. “The indirect cost savings in shipping and installation when using IPC's light-weight inverters in Texas was nearly half the inverter price itself. Installations in other locations will save even more and we estimate that the indirect cost savings for IPC inverter installations in Hawaii will be greater than the inverter's price.”
