Headquartered in Camarillo, California, the Company has approximately 4,000 employees and is part of the Diversified Electronics industry.
Power-One provides their solutions for alternative/renewable energy, routers, data storage and servers, wireless communications, optical networking, medical diagnostics, railway controls, custom applications, and automated/semiconductor test equipment. The Company offers their clients a wide variety of energy saving “green” products. Their products save energy by providing more useable output power and by generating less waste heat. This in turn saves energy by reducing host-system and facility-level cooling requirements.
Power-One’s product portfolio includes alternative-energy inverters that facilitate taking in clean power from the sun and wind. They also include AC-DC products that refine AC electricity into DC lower voltages, and DC-DC converters that convert DC voltage into another value that circuit boards and semi-conductors need. In addition, their portfolio includes “intelligent controls’ that manage energy use in residential, utility, and industrial applications. They also provide network power systems that enable high-availability power for telecom landline and wireless systems.
Power-One’s diverse customer base includes premier enterprises such as Alcatel/Lucent, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Huawei, Motorola, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Nortel Networks, Siemens AG, Sun Microsystems, and Teradyne. The Company sells their products via a network of manufacturers’ representatives and distributors worldwide.
On September 16 of this year, Power-One announced that their Aurora PVI-Central commercial renewable energy inverters won Electronic Product Design Magazine’s 2008 e-Legacy Award in the Environmental Design Category. This award recognizes products that provide innovative electronic design solutions for responsible energy use.
The Company’s PVI-Central Inverters are for large solar applications, such as apartment buildings and industrial facilities. These grid-tie products are pre-configured and pre-tested. They reduce the need for on-site installation wiring and testing, and are available from 50kW to 330kW.
Power-One continues to develop power solutions to help enterprises. They enable their customers to reduce their carbon footprint and save expenses at the same time. Power-One is working to power the way to increased profits for their customers, the Company, and their shareholders.
