New Products & Product Benefits
This global catalogue introduces a certain number of new products to the Power-One Aurora range. So far we have installed products totaling more than 4 GW of power globally. We have redesigned the smallest of our residential inverters, the new UNO 2 kW single phase inverter. A new look inverter from both a style and technology standpoint, it is high performing, extremely robust, easily installed and features a new user interface. Other important news includes two new string inverter products for large roof top applications, TRIO-27.6 and TRIO-20.0, three-phase inverters outputting 27.6 kW and 20.0 kW respectively. These products fi ll a gap between our previous 10.0 kW and 12.5 kW three-phase products and our smallest Central inverter products (50kW and 55kW). This new design of inverter benefi ts from three-phase inverter technology perfected in the PVI-10.0 and 12.5, probably the world’s most commonly used three-phase inverter which has led the way in best-in-class effi ciency. Power-One is also launching the new ULTRA, our biggest inverter with an output of up to 1.4MW featuring passive liquid cooling. This new concept in large scale utility inverter features an IP65 enclosure, high performances, minimum footprint, low maintenance and Power-One’s traditional modular approach. All this plus a low operational cost benefi t for our customers.
Key Features of the Aurora product range Power-One’s Aurora products compare favorably with the competition for the high innovation content and key features which are the stronghold of our offering. The wide working input voltage range can accommodate any panel string size, allowing installers to buy their inverter with confidence knowing the Aurora inverter will suit whatever installation they have on their books. The wide input range also allows a low power of activation to extend the daily working time of the inverter. The Aurora inverters also feature a rugged IP65 construction to fit any type of installation without putting restrictions on where and how the inverter should be installed. Maximum power-point trackers (MPPT) allow you to accommodate sub arrays with different orientations or made up of different PV panels. This technology also allows the installation designer to know that any incidents of partial shading will be overcome by the MPPT technology creating the optimum power curve for energy harvesting. Modular central inverters, used for large commercial and utility scale applications, allow a reduction in downtime caused either by the failure at the inverter level or the photovoltaic field. This eliminates plant shutdown, the reduction of repair time and consequently financial benefits in terms of production.At Power-One, we aim high so you can too.

The new Aurora 300 Watt micro-inverter product off ers something new to Power-One customers. The ability to individually link all modules within a specific installation is an alternative to the traditional Aurora string inverters Power-One is famous for.
Micro-inverters have some advantages over string inverters. They allow you to control the panels output individually and off er Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for each single module.
They also allow you to control individual panels in diff erent ways and reduce the losses in efficiency in a variety of challenging conditions.

Power-One’s new Optimizer products use DC-to-DC technology to help maximize the energy harvested from solar installations.
Normally, within each array, the solar panels are usually joined together in a serial pattern. This creates issues if one panel fails as this reduces the energy being produced by the entire installation. The Optimizer maximizes the energy from each module within a string as they ‘optimize’ the voltage/current for any given weather conditions.
The Optimizer also maximizes energy harvesting in panels suff ering from partial or temporary shading. This helps installers to create the largest installations possible andincrease Return on Investment (ROI).

••••••••••
These extremely scalable modular inverter systems, based on 55kW modular blocks, increase usable power and improve availability. The reduction of performance in any individual module will not impact the energy-harvesting capabilities of other modules.
The product is available with and without transformer. Industry-leading power conversion efficiencies of up to 98% (-TL), combined with high-speed Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) channels, optimize energy harvesting across a wide array of operating conditions.
Inverter systems are delivered pre-configured and pre-tested, significantly reducing on-site wiring and testing. In case of ungrounded application the unit can be configured as single or multiple MPPT (with exception of PVI-55.0/-TL).

AURORA VISION - Overview
107AURORA VISION
The rules for managing solar electric power production turn traditional business operations on its head. Solar power plants are highly distributed, with each site generating far less power than a non-renewable power plant. In addition, plants are typically distributed over large geographic areas and may be managed by off -site staff .
Operating profit margins are narrow in the solar electric industry, and plants must operate at 98% upti-me and produce more than 95% of expected output. With these constraints, failures can be expensive. Small defects (string faults or panel soiling, for example) and inaccurate problem diagnosis can eat up an entire downtime budget or worse. Catastrophic failures, such as damaged inverters, could mean days or weeks offl ine. No plant operator can aff ord this type of exposure.
Maximum Uptime, Increased Return on Investment and Peace of Mind
In 2010, Power-One acquired the technology of leader remote monitoring provider for renewable energy systems Fat Spaniel Technologies.
All Power-One’s existing monitoring and control products and services now feature alongside the Fat Spaniel solutions to address renewable energy information needs. These combined products, services and solutions fall under the new category Aurora Vision. There is also an additional premium off ering called Fat Spaniel Prime Edition focused on advanced data analysis and visualization of performance across installations.
Aurora Vision has three key off erings: Software, Hardware and Accessories.
Aurora Vision software includes a full range of system fault management, diagnostics, asset tracking, performance index and alerting services to enable O&M service providers to maximize system energy output while minimizing costs.
Other digital services available include revenue information such as billing data, Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) reporting, performance-based incentive (PBI) reporting and XML data feeds.
Web-based energy production and conservation metrics, displayed via Internet-connected PCs and kiosks in high traffic areas, such as building lobbies or retail sites, provides an eff ective way to market clean energy.
The hardware section of Aurora Vision includes the equipment designed to capture data and environ-mental information to allow the transferral between inverter, installation and owner. A key product is the Aurora Universal which is installed at the PV plant. This section also includes inverter add-ons such as string-combiner boxes and the EVO easy control box.
Accessories include monitoring equipment such as the Desktop monitoring system and the EVO Easy Control.
Providing the complete panel to grid system solution is the key objective for Power-One. The Aurora Vision services will help maximize the return on investment of renewable energy projects through the better understanding and communication between the user and the installation.

Vision
Following the growing demand of wind power and the market trend of introducing higher power turbine ratings with high grid management requirements, the Power Converter Unit is a key component of the turbine. The needs of OEMs to reduce the installation cost per kWh and the actual trend of developing high specialized components manufactured to specification brought Power-One to enter this market with our own model. We off er a wide range of cost eff ective and fl exible solutions for large and small scale wind turbines with high performances in terms of reliability, efficiency, grid support capabilities and power output quality. Multilevel Technology
All Power-One three-phase inverters adopt IGBT-based multi-level topologies. Power-One Aurora wind converters are based on a Neutral Clamp 3-level topology for both medium voltage and low voltage applications. Multilevel topologies allow to achieve top perfor-mances in terms of conversion efficiency, carrier frequency and generator dV/dt. Reliability and cost competitiveness is achieved using industry standard rated IGBTs. The AC quality is compliant with the latest edition of standard for total harmonic current and voltage distortion limits. Power-One adopts state of the art vector control algorithm in order to regulate active and reactive power fed to the grid with the production of reactive energy used to compensate the capacitive and inductive load of the grid.
Flexibility and Modularity
Power-One inverters are designed to work in parallel architecture in order to reach the maximum wind turbine power output up to 10MW and above. Power-One inverter mo-dules are introducing a new concept of fl exibility in this Power Converter environment industry and can be matched and completed with a passive or active rectification stage depending by the wind turbine OEMs needs in case of full conversion and/or doubly fed applications.
130 AURORA WIND
Power-One Converter Solutions for Full Conversion
Large Wind and Hydro turbines working at variable speeds, geared or direct driven, need a full converter solution.
The system’s general structure can be modelled with a rectification stage interfacing the generator and an inverter stage facing the grid.
Power-One is able to provide fl exible solutions in terms of technology whether there is a need of an active front end facing the generator especially in case of direct drive or hybrid turbines or a passive rectification with 6 or 12 pulses operation mode.
Power-One Converter Solutions for Doubly Fed generators
DFiG architecture is still the most popular in the market because of its ability to work efficiently in a range of variable speed conditions
Power-One is introducing multi-level back to back converters for this application and so able to improve dramatically the performances in terms of efficiency and consequently energy harvesting.

GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW
190 GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Market Overview
191GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW
In the past few years, the EMEA market has represented Power-One’s spring-board into the renewable energy market.
Thanks to the opportunities presented by the diff erent regional markets in our territory, we have grown to be the second largest inverter manufacturer in the world. In 2010, EMEA’s market topped an impressive 16 GW worth of new installations with Germany and Italy being the leading countries with about 8.5GW and 5.5GW respectively.
As more and more photovoltaic installations are being deployed within EMEA, governments are issuing new laws and regulations to tighten feed-in-tariff s to try and drive our market towards full sustainability (grid parity).
This opens up several new opportunities and also some challenges. I am confident that Power-One is ready for them.
Our network of partners and distributors has reached a degree of penetration throughout Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Israel and the BeNeLux, which is second to none.
We are still investing in our channel, not only to enlarge our sales and service structures in those countries but also in to open up branch offices in Greece, in the Arab Emirates and in several countries in Africa. We firmly believe that the continued expansion in new markets will bring Power-One the strength and the experience which will be needed to sustain the competitive challenges that lie ahead of us.
As you fl ip the pages of this brochure, you will see a whole host of new products that we have prepared to the usual technical and technological excellence while keeping a very close eye to competitiveness and ease of use. We are proud of our new product off ering and we are convinced that it will meet the market’s taste and expectations.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our entire sales force, our distribution partners, our customer service people, our technical groups and all of the customers who have placed their trust in our products and services.
We wouldn’t be where we are without you and you can be sure of our continued commit-ment to provide you with best-in-class technology, fl exibility, competitiveness and service.

192 GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW
North America is quickly becoming the largest PV market in the world. Each month, analysts are predicting even larger totals for 2011 and beyond, currently greater than 2GW. This is twice what was predicted last year. With the price of oil again on the rise, these numbers will continue to increase.
Power-One continues to increase market share in all global markets. We attained the #2 position and continue to distance ourselves those behind. Diff erentiated product features along with the highest reliability are making Power-One the inverter of choice. Our plan to have local manufacturing in each of the three major geographies has been executed.
In North America, the Phoenix, Arizona facility is now fully operational. Scarborough, Ontario also continues to expand its support of the Canadian marketplace with each new inverter we introduce.

North American (NA) Market Overview
194 GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW
Asia is a market with a vibrant mix of cultures and business challenges which are unique and full of unpredictables. At Power-One Asia, we cover more than half the population of the globe and a vast area with high growth potential.
In China, where we have just opened our brand new RE factory, the market requires mainly central inverters and has to be qualifi ed by CQC. Our PVI-250-TL and PVI-500-TL are well positioned for the China market and currently we are engaging in a lot of brand and product promotion to try to gain traction. In Australia, our string inverter has gained number one market share in 2010. With the introduction of the new 2kW inverter, we should maintain our position in 2011. In India, PVI-250 and PVI-500 have already made in road into a few solar farm projects which are bases on the CQC stan-dard. Soon our Indian offi ce will also be set up to cope with upcoming demands. The earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan has shocked the market place whereby the market has temporary went to hibernation. We are seeking to work with local partners to get our string inverter certifi ed so when the market return, we will be able to catch the initial waves.
Asia is the most densely populated area on earth and yet consumption of natural resources accounts for much less than the western world. And people in this part of the world do really adopt the philosophy of living with the nature. So conservation of energy and natural resources would be a main theme of most people’s daily living.
The appreciation of good technology is also a part of the culture in Asia. Power-One positions here with good history and infrastructure in place to tackle the rising demand of green energy. With the opening of our RE factory in Shenzhen, China, we can now deliver Asia-made products to the market with good technology and timely services. We believe that we can capitalize on the growing market and make good inroads with our new 250kW and 500kW utility-grade products which will bring good cost-per-watt value to our customers.
Continue to ‘Aim High’ is part Power-One’s sales team in Asia. We will strive our eff orts with the dedicated and focus team in gaining market share in this part of the world. And diff erent spices will need to be deployed with our strategies to win.
