Petra Solar’s technology is the culmination of over 16 years of research and development in power electronics and satellite grade solar power systems. SunWave systems are compatible with existing grid infrastructure and their communications system is compliant with Smart Grid technology. The systems can be remotely upgraded to leverage future applications and standards as they emerge.
“We have worked in close partnership with key utilities to develop technologies that facilitate the evolution of the grid” Petra Solar’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer Shihab Kuran said.
Petra Solar’s systems are operating on streetlight and utility poles in the field and provide unsurpassed value to utilities that deploy them.
“While the cost of a SunWave is comparable to traditional installed PV systems, the technology provides a measurably superior return on investment for our utility partners” Petra Solar General Manager Evan Vogel said.
