Ranking manufacturers of stationary inverter systems.

A pioneer in power systems manufacturing wanted to compare manufacturers of stationary inverters for off-grid systems with grid-forming and grid-following capabilities. We profiled and scored the companies, and helped the client see which ones belonged in its plans.
