The inverter company’s production capacities are currently fully utilized in order to meet the high demand on the PV inverter market. World wide growth in the Americas and other countries has spurred this increased demand for KACO inverters. KACO’s goal is to close the year of 2010 with over 1500MW of inverters sold.
“We are making full use of our inverter production capacities,” said KACO’s president Ralf Hofmann. “We are in an excellent position to reach our ambitious goal in 2010.”
In order to facilitate the expansion of the KACO brand and penetration levels in the Americas the company plans to launch the first generation of blueplanet transformerless inverters in 2010.
