Bend, ORE - October 28, 2005—PV Powered is pleased to recognize the successes of the California Energy Commission with their recent efforts in creating inverter test protocol as contained in the most recent Renewable Energy Guidebook. Specifically, coming up with a detailed test plan that prescribed determination of continuous power output, weighted efficiency calculations, tare losses, etc. has been very beneficial in bringing consistencies to inverter performance specifications. "These new standards have helped clarify evaluation of inverter performance and bring consistency to the California solar marketplace" said Bill Taylor, President of PV Powered. "I would like to also thank Bill Brooks of Brooks Engineering and the other inverter manufacturers for their input and cooperation with the CEC in arriving at the new protocol. We look forward to working cooperatively in continuing to grow the California solar marketplace".
