The lead-in to this post is here: Micro-inverters offer one solution for optimizing solar efficiency. Probably the most well-known micro-inverter company is Enphase, which sells a 200W inverter for ...

Enecsys claims that its 240W micro-inverters are the first to achieve UL certification without electrolytic capacitors. The photovoltaic (PV) micro-inverter is also certified for use in Europe. With ...

Supercapacitors, also called electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) or ultracapacitors, bridge the gap between batteries, which offer high energy densities but are slow, and “conventional” ...

The patented design of the Enecsys Micro-inverter uses a rugged topology that eliminates electrolytic capacitors and opto-couplers, components that limit operating life and compromise reliability.

Researchers at Rice University developed a solid-state micro-supercapacitor that they say rivals the best supercapacitors available for energy storage and delivery. The device is not a battery but is ...

Berkeley Lab scientists create microcapacitors with ultrahigh energy and power density. The microcapacitors are made with engineered thin films of hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide. The technology ...

Schematic and operation of a capacitorless active-matrix micro-LED pixel, where a single memristor (1M) substitutes both the storage capacitor and the driving TFT. The compact 1M cell can be ...
