Ten K Solar, Inc.

YesterdayÕs solar is exactly that. If the solar cell were invented today, engineers would wire the module in a matrix embedding smart electronics which optimize performance at the cell level. The electrical system would have a parallel architecture with redundancy built into every component, from cell to module to inversion. Storage would be thought of as part of the system from day 1 to maximize energy output and optimize costs. Ten KÕs architecture is based on a low-voltage, parallel design that eliminates the single points of failure found in yesterdayÕs solar arrays. By combining this architecture with smart electronics, Ten K overcomes the weaknesses of yesterdayÕs solar arrays. We accomplish this with a superior design that uses the same PV cells and materials as well as using standard parts which keeps system costs low and allows us to deliver solarÕs lowest cost of energy.
