Nextronex Completes First Full Year

September 18, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

2011 has been a year of significant milestones according to Ohio-based Nextronex, Inc. As the first full year on the market has progressed the company says that more customers are finding that the advantages of higher energy output and lower installation costs with the exclusive Distributed Architecture UL Listed Ray-Max® Inverter System are significant.

"Customers who have taken the chance on a new company and a new inverter concept are now realizing the benefits of the system," said Bruce Larsen, Chairman and CEO of Nextronex, Inc. "With actual output rates exceeding even our own Solar Harvesting Models, these customers are realizing as much as a 14 percent higher energy output than similar arrays in the same geographic regions. This is something we knew was possible and are elated to prove in real life."

The Nextronex technology revolves around the simple concept that commodity inverters are inherently inefficient and have short lives. By developing a "Smart" system in which multiple inverters interact in concert to optimize efficiency the solar power plant generates more energy, lowers the cost per watt, and extends the life of the core inverters.

"After conducting several Nextronex Certified Technician training programs we have found many of our customers simply don’t realize how much more energy is available from their project," reports Peter Gerhardinger, V.P. of Technical Sales. "After learning the science behind our technology they begin to understand what Distributed Architecture is all about. This also was the primary reason we developed the Nextronex Solar Harvesting Model. Other predictive models simply don’t work with our system."

The company states that it continues to gain momentum in establishing the Nextronex brand name outside of Ohio. Larsen added, "We clearly are searching for the first movers. Those in the solar industry who want to invest in the latest technology while helping move the industry forward should give Nextronex a call. More importantly, our competitively priced ’Made in America’ product line strengthens our country’s ability to compete around the world."
