The ZenithSolar Z20 system is designed and now being tested to be certified to meet IEC standards for Solar Energy. ZenithSolar Z20 System does hook up to an inverter and a PPS (Battery System for community). The PPS allows us to harvest and collect electrical energy during the day and provide it to the community during peak and evening hours. This system has been developed to work with a large number of commercially available inverters, including the most popular units used in the USA and Europe.

I`m architect and working to develope the use of solar energy in architectureand to use this technology in Argentina , Uruguay and Chile my works is like the work of an ant because must teaching the use of active and passive systems in the designs and to open the minds of some people to undestand the qualitys and advantages to use solar - photovoltaic cells to provide electricity and solar water heating systems for houses in remote regions of my country. Many years ago I was living in ISRAEL in KIBBUTZ MEGGIDO and I have family and friends there so I´ll be very happy to receive your mail to allow to me starting here ( in ARGENTINA ) with this technology for my projects.

I agree. But if you want to be in the field of reporting, you must have facts to back up general statements. And frankly, to connect a PV system to the grid is based on the inverter, and it is that simple. I have no idea what you could possibly be referring to when you say "compliance with international standards". BrightSource and Solel are supplying utility scale solar thermal power stations. They will not have anything online for years. ZenithSolar is connected to the grid today at Yavne. BrightSource and Solel both have "deals" with PG&E and others to supply electricity at a specific price. if Brightsource says $0.09 per kWh and Solel says $0.10 per kWh, than Solel is in big trouble and BrightSource is a big winner. And visa versa. It is that sensitive of a market. Not to mention the land, environmental (ruining the desert ecosystems), transmission lines (which don't exist), and many other HUGE challenges. So again, I'd love to see if you have any facts to back up zenith's "compliance with international standards" - which are based on anonymous interviews - especially in comparison to BrightSource and Solel! Don’t whitewash Karin. I agree.

It is not negative to say so. People come to Green Prophet because our writers are all working in the field of the environment. While we do write positive stories -- see the past 2 on ZenithSolar –- we are not going to whitewash. -Karin Dear Slingshot,
