Power-One has begun shipping central inverters from its Chinese manufacturing and design facility in Shenzhen. By the end of 2011, the site will have an annual manufacturing capacity of 1GW.
The plant will not only allow Power-One to increase output of its recently-launched 250kW and 500kW utility-grade central inverters but also gain a stronger foothold in the ever-expanding Asian solar markets. Both inverters have received the China Quality Certificate (CQC), entitling Power-One to sell them throughout the country.
