tenKsolar designs, manufactures and markets an integrated photovoltaic system that leverages integrated electronics and a low-voltage, parallel architecture. Compared to conventional solar systems, the architecture provides 45% better energy density, higher reliability, and is the only PV system that is both shock and arch flash safe. == History == Early in 2008, Dallas Meyer began developing the intellectual property for the company’s proprietary technology. Later that year, the company was capitalized with $8 million in investments.〔(Inside Track: Business hot at TenKsolar )〕 In 2009, tenKsolar formed a strategic partnership with Minneapolis-based thin-film manufacturer 3M, which supplies tenKsolar with reflective film to boost light concentration onto the solar panels.〔(3M and tenKsolar partner to get more power from commercial rooftop solar PV arrays )〕 This helps the company’s RAIS® (Redundant Array of Integrated Solar) Wave produce up to 50 percent more energy per square foot than a standard solar array. In September 2010, tenKsolar shipped its first panels and generated about $3 million in revenue. Throughout the year, the company raised about $5.64 million in investments and launched a Series B round of solar panels to boost its sales. Its primary shareholders include PrairieGold Venture Partners and the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative. In April 2012, Hanwha Corp (008800) and ESP Novusmodus LP, a fund backed by Irish state utility Electricity Supply Board, led a $15.5 million Series B investment in tenKsolar. On July 8, 2013, tenKsolar announced a strategic alliance with Gehrlicher North America to deploy high efficiency RAIS® into solar PV projects in the North American market. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tenksolar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
