This global catalogue introduces a certain number of new products to the Power-One Aurora range. So far we have installed products totaling more than 4 GW of power globally. We have redesigned the smallest of our residential inverters, the new UNO 2 kW single phase inverter. A new look inverter from both a style and technology standpoint, it is high performing, extremely robust, easily installed and features a new user interface. Other important news includes two new string inverter products for large roof top applications, TRIO-27.6 and TRIO-20.0, three-phase inverters outputting 27.6 kW and 20.0 kW respectively. These products fill a gap between our previous 10.0 kW and 12.5 kW three-phase products and our smallest Central inverter products (50kW and 55kW). This new design of inverter benefits from three-phase inverter technology perfected in the PVI-10.0 and 12.5, probably the worlds most commonly used three-phase inverter which has led the way in best-in-class efficiency. Power-One is also launching the new ULTRA, our biggest inverter with an output of up to 1.4MW featuring passive liquid cooling. This new concept in large scale utility inverter features an IP65 enclosure, high performances, minimum footprint, low maintenance and Power-Ones traditional modular approach. All this plus a low operational cost benefit for our customers.
New Products & Product Benefits
Key Features of the Aurora product range Power-Ones Aurora products compare favorably with the competition for the high innovation content and key features which are the stronghold of our offering. The wide working input voltage range can accommodate any panel string size, allowing installers to buy their inverter with confidence knowing the Aurora inverter will suit whatever installation they have on their books. The wide input range also allows a low power of activation to extend the daily working time of the inverter. The Aurora inverters also feature a rugged IP65 construction to fit any type of installation without putting restrictions on where and how the inverter should be installed. Maximum power-point trackers (MPPT) allow you to accommodate sub arrays with different orientations or made up of different PV panels. This technology also allows the installation designer to know that any incidents of partial shading will be overcome by the MPPT technology creating the optimum power curve for energy harvesting. Modular central inverters, used for large commercial and utility scale applications, allow a reduction in downtime caused either by the failure at the inverter level or the photovoltaic field. This eliminates plant shutdown, the reduction of repair time and consequently financial benefits in terms of production. At Power-One, we aim high so you can too.

AURORA MICRO
The new Aurora 300 Watt micro-inverter product offers something new to Power-One customers. The ability to individually link all modules within a specific installation is an alternative to the traditional Aurora string inverters Power-One is famous for. Micro-inverters have some advantages over string inverters. They allow you to control the panels output individually and offer Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for each single module. They also allow you to control individual panels in different ways and reduce the losses in efficiency in a variety of challenging conditions.
Features
Electrolyte-free power converter to further increase the life expectancy and long term reliability Outdoor enclosure for unrestricted use under any environmental conditions Increased energy harvesting thanks to the MPPT algorithm which works at the level of each solar
panel in any light condition No DC input current ripple The HF isolation allows it to fit any application that requires the grounding of either one of the input terminations 95.5% of efficiency Ease of installation by the implementation of a package inclusive of proprietary wireless communication hub and grid interface Reduced susceptibility to fault. In case of a component failure only the energy produced from one PV module will be lost Up to 10 micro inverters directly connectable in a string

AURORA OPTIMIZER
Power-Ones new Optimizer products use DC-to-DC technology to help maximize the energy harvested from solar installations. Normally, within each array, the solar panels are usually joined together in a serial pattern. This creates issues if one panel fails as this reduces the energy being produced by the entire installation. The Optimizer maximizes the energy from each module within a string as they optimize the voltage/current for any given weather conditions. The Optimizer also maximizes energy harvesting in panels suffering from partial or temporary shading. This helps installers to create the largest installations possible and increase Return on Investment (ROI).
Features
Ability to mitigate PV panel mismatch High efficiency up to 99.5% Single panel MPP tracker compatible with all Power-One inverter models Ease of installation by the implementation of a package inclusive of proprietary wireless
data communication Temperature hardened construction

AURORA VISION - Overview

AURORA VISION
The rules for managing solar electric power production turn traditional business operations on its head. Solar power plants are highly distributed, with each site generating far less power than a nonrenewable power plant. In addition, plants are typically distributed over large geographic areas and may be managed by off-site staff. Operating profit margins are narrow in the solar electric industry, and plants must operate at 98% uptime and produce more than 95% of expected output. With these constraints, failures can be expensive. Small defects (string faults or panel soiling, for example) and inaccurate problem diagnosis can eat up an entire downtime budget or worse. Catastrophic failures, such as damaged inverters, could mean days or weeks offline. No plant operator can afford this type of exposure. Maximum Uptime, Increased Return on Investment and Peace of Mind In 2010, Power-One acquired the technology of leader remote monitoring provider for renewable energy systems Fat Spaniel Technologies. All Power-Ones existing monitoring and control products and services now feature alongside the Fat Spaniel solutions to address renewable energy information needs. These combined products, services and solutions fall under the new category Aurora Vision. There is also an additional premium offering called Fat Spaniel Prime Edition focused on advanced data analysis and visualization of performance across installations. Aurora Vision has three key offerings: Software, Hardware and Accessories. Aurora Vision software includes a full range of system fault management, diagnostics, asset tracking, performance index and alerting services to enable O&M service providers to maximize system energy output while minimizing costs. Other digital services available include revenue information such as billing data, Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) reporting, performance-based incentive (PBI) reporting and XML data feeds. Web-based energy production and conservation metrics, displayed via Internet-connected PCs and kiosks in high traffic areas, such as building lobbies or retail sites, provides an effective way to market clean energy. The hardware section of Aurora Vision includes the equipment designed to capture data and environmental information to allow the transferral between inverter, installation and owner. A key product is the Aurora Universal which is installed at the PV plant. This section also includes inverter add-ons such as string-combiner boxes and the EVO easy control box. Accessories include monitoring equipment such as the Desktop monitoring system and the EVO Easy Control. Providing the complete panel to grid system solution is the key objective for Power-One. The Aurora Vision services will help maximize the return on investment of renewable energy projects through the better understanding and communication between the user and the installation.

GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW 189
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Market Overview
190
In the past few years, the EMEA market has represented Power-Ones spring-board into the renewable energy market. Thanks to the opportunities presented by the different regional markets in our territory, we have grown to be the second largest inverter manufacturer in the world. In 2010, EMEAs market topped an impressive 16 GW worth of new installations with Germany and Italy being the leading countries with about 8.5GW and 5.5GW respectively. As more and more photovoltaic installations are being deployed within EMEA, governments are issuing new laws and regulations to tighten feed-in-tariffs to try and drive our market towards full sustainability (grid parity). This opens up several new opportunities and also some challenges. I am confident that Power-One is ready for them. Our network of partners and distributors has reached a degree of penetration throughout Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Israel and the BeNeLux, which is second to none. We are still investing in our channel, not only to enlarge our sales and service structures in those countries but also in to open up branch offices in Greece, in the Arab Emirates and in several countries in Africa. We firmly believe that the continued expansion in new markets will bring Power-One the strength and the experience which will be needed to sustain the competitive challenges that lie ahead of us. As you flip the pages of this brochure, you will see a whole host of new products that we have prepared to the usual technical and technological excellence while keeping a very close eye to competitiveness and ease of use. We are proud of our new product offering and we are convinced that it will meet the markets taste and expectations. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our entire sales force, our distribution partners, our customer service people, our technical groups and all of the customers who have placed their trust in our products and services. We wouldnt be where we are without you and you can be sure of our continued commitment to provide you with best-in-class technology, flexibility, competitiveness and service.
Averaldo Farri Vice President Sales, EMEA
North America is quickly becoming the largest PV market in the world. Each month, analysts are predicting even larger totals for 2011 and beyond, currently greater than 2GW. This is twice what was predicted last year. With the price of oil again on the rise, these numbers will continue to increase. Power-One continues to increase market share in all global markets. We attained the #2 position and continue to distance ourselves those behind. Differentiated product features along with the highest reliability are making Power-One the inverter of choice. Our plan to have local manufacturing in each of the three major geographies has been executed. In North America, the Phoenix, Arizona facility is now fully operational. Scarborough, Ontario also continues to expand its support of the Canadian marketplace with each new inverter we introduce. Having local manufacturing is key to our success by providing immediate customer support, local inventory, and producing products that comply with local incentive requirements. The Power-One Aurora family of inverters continues to expand in North America. Over the past year, we have launched a new line of isolated string inverters, the modular Central inverter platform, turn-key utility scale inverters, and the worlds most popular three-phase string inverter line. Demand for our transformerless string inverters continue to grow as customers realize the advantages this topology brings. Power-One market share will continue to grow as installers and owners recognize the value of design flexibility, simplified installation, robust engineering, best-in-class efficiency, and the highest reliability. We will continue to offer innovative new products to meet evolving requirements of the North American market. All of us at Power-One are excited to be part of the Renewable Energy industry during this time of unprecedented growth. We look forward to helping our partners continue to be successful by providing the best products and services available. The future is destined to be bright.

North American (NA) Market Overview
Asia is a market with a vibrant mix of cultures and business challenges which are unique and full of unpredictables. At Power-One Asia, we cover more than half the population of the globe and a vast area with high growth potential. In China, where we have just opened our brand new RE factory, the market requires mainly central inverters and has to be qualified by CQC. Our PVI-250-TL and PVI-500-TL are well positioned for the China market and currently we are engaging in a lot of brand and product promotion to try to gain traction. In Australia, our string inverter has gained number one market share in 2010. With the introduction of the new 2kW inverter, we should maintain our position in 2011. In India, PVI-250 and PVI-500 have already made in road into a few solar farm projects which are bases on the CQC standard. Soon our Indian office will also be set up to cope with upcoming demands. The earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan has shocked the market place whereby the market has temporary went to hibernation. We are seeking to work with local partners to get our string inverter certified so when the market return, we will be able to catch the initial waves. Asia is the most densely populated area on earth and yet consumption of natural resources accounts for much less than the western world. And people in this part of the world do really adopt the philosophy of living with the nature. So conservation of energy and natural resources would be a main theme of most peoples daily living. The appreciation of good technology is also a part of the culture in Asia. Power-One positions here with good history and infrastructure in place to tackle the rising demand of green energy. With the opening of our RE factory in Shenzhen, China, we can now deliver Asia-made products to the market with good technology and timely services. We believe that we can capitalize on the growing market and make good inroads with our new 250kW and 500kW utility-grade products which will bring good cost-per-watt value to our customers. Continue to Aim High is part Power-Ones sales team in Asia. We will strive our efforts with the dedicated and focus team in gaining market share in this part of the world. And different spices will need to be deployed with our strategies to win.
