OutBack Power & HiQ Solar Reveal ProHarvest Line Of Products For Commercial Solar Installations

The off-grid renewable energy systems firm OutBack Power Technologies recently announced the “next milestone” in its partnership with HiQ Solar — the unveiling of ProHarvest by OutBack Power. ProHarvest is a new brand that will be “an innovator in 3-phase power-conversion technology for commercial and industrial solar applications.”

Outback Power’s direct sales group will be pushing the new brand through selected distribution sales partners.

“With ProHarvest, we can get HiQ’s project-proven technology in front of a wider audience and open new opportunities through installers wishing to grow their commercial business,” stated Harvey Wilkinson, general manager of OutBack Power.

HiQ Solar’s Chairman and CEO, Lutz Henckels, commented as well: “Our unique technology makes plug-and-play commercial solar viable for solar contractors looking to expand their portfolios and offer commercial services. In partnership with OutBack Power using the ProHarvest line, we can now provide that technology with the assurance and support required to earn many new customers.”

OutBack offers technical, application, and warranty support to its customers.

The press release provides more: “The HiQ approach combines the best of all worlds: improved economics of a large string inverter, with the array-mounting and form-factor of a microinverter. With this technology, installers have a plug-and-play system architecture to work with. Key components literally snap together, saving considerable installation time and effort. Equally important, this system topology meets all code-required standards for rapid shut-down and disconnect in commercial systems — very important for system owners and their stakeholders.”
