This photograph shows two 50 kW prototype inverters being developed by engineers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in partnership with Semikron. These electrical devices convert variable direct current (DC) output from distributed photovoltaic systems into grid-compatible alternating current (AC) electricity. By developing more reliable, lighter, and durable inverters, researchers are helping to reduce the overall cost of distributed energy sources such as solar.
