PowerLight selects Xantrex for 450-home solar project
Not much more to this post beyond the headline and news release, but I will say it’s encouraging to see Xantrex Technology Inc. finally announcing some inverter sales in California. In the area of solar, California represents a huge market for Xantrex, which is by far the leading solar inverter provider in the state. Given recent initiatives there to spark greater uptake of solar PV systems, I’d expected an announcement like this each week coming out of Xantrex. Will be interesting to see the company’s next quarter to see what impact California solar is having on sales.
