Summary of FY 2005 Results inverter development into its existing new construction housing market. 4. Planned FY 2006 Activities Activities planned for FY 2006 follow a natural progression of improving designs to an acceptable reliability level, focusing on further improvement to a required level for inverters and BOS of at least a 20-year MTBF, and then fully integrating components that allow the complete system to have the same lifetime as the PV modules (now typically 30 years) and to optimize the performance of the systems through factory assembled and vertically designed and integrated systems. The “High-Tech Inverter, Balance-of- System, and Systems R&D: A 5-Year Strategy” project will be used to bring U.S. PV technologies to the forefront. The proposed milestones include: • Completing the HRII Phase III • Initiating the high-tech R&D strategies with integration into module manufacturing • Conducting the “conceptual design” (first phase for high-tech R&D) • Organizing a Systems-Driven Approach workshop for vertically integrated inverters, BOS, systems. Continuing micro-inverter development with funding and collaboration through PV module manufacturers. 5.
