| Development of Economically Viable, Highly Integrated, Highly Modular SEGIS Architecture |
Petra Solar is a New Jersey based company, whose mission is to enable high penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) systems in the electric grid through innovative and reliable design, proven manufacturing processes, and a novel business model.
Petra Solar’s SEGIS system architecture demonstrates a high-level of grid interaction capability, a major cost reduction, and significantly improved reliability and safety over the current state of the art PV systems. This SEGIS system architecture is achieved through a number of technological innovations including:
| Low cost, easy-to-install, modular and scalable solar power system architecture based on PV AC modules |
- Multi-layer control and communication system that provides electric utilities with the tools to deploy a smart grid communications network and manage distributed generation assets
|
| Cutting-edge power management platform, which provides tools and functionality to achieve a reliable two way distribution grid architecture. |

Maximize energy harvest in every solar installation |
SunWave ™AC Modules are fully functional, independent, smart grid interactive solar generation systems that can be combined to create systems of any power level and conform to virtually any shape. SunWave™AC Modules require standard installation practices using only low voltage AC components. The extensive moitoring and control cabability probides performance data on each AC Module. Additionally, as a safety measure, SunWave ™ensures that each solar module produces no output power until the system is fully connected to the grid. SunWave ™enables a simpler, faster , safer, and lower cost install for utility, commercial, and residential applications. |
