µSolarVerter - Open Solar Power for All

In this talk, we introduce µSolarVerter, our open-hardware micro-inverter designed to support decentralized solar production while giving users full control over the information their system generates. The project grew from a simple question: how do we make small-scale solar both understandable and adaptable, without locking people into a black box?

Our presentation will be split into three parts:

1. OwnTech Recap — What we have done so far

We'll recap who we are and how we have been working to provide people with the tools to act on the energy transition. We'll recap our previous advancements in terms of repairability, sovererignty and cooperation.

2. Why an open-source micro-solar inverter?

We’ll explain what a micro-solar inverter actually is and why it is important as a tool for impact on the field. We'll walk you through the specifications of the open uSolarVerter. And the challenges we faced while designing it.

3. Invitation — Join the movement

We will present you the repository of our project and the remaining challenges in terms of software and hardware related to the uSolarVerter.
