Photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems are made up of two basic devices: a PV module that converts solar energy into electrical energy, and a PV inverter that converts the generated electricity into a form that can be used in the home.

Generally, most manufacturers involved in photovoltaic power generation only make the PV module themselves. They usually either assemble systems by using PV inverters from other companies or sell systems while marketing PV inverters purchased from other companies under their own brand. Mitsubishi Electric develops and produces every system component in-house, including PV modules and PV inverters. One of the main features of our photovoltaic power generation business is that we are able to provide total systems made entirely out of Mitsubishi Electric products.

Nakatsugawa Works Iida Factory is home to our photovoltaic power generation systems business

We are able to develop everything in-house thanks to our extensive experience, long track record and outstanding technologies in the area of power electronics (equipment and facilities for receiving and distributing electricity). In fact, creating high-performance photovoltaic systems depends not only on cutting-edge semiconductor technology for the PV cells but also on power electronics technology for making the system function well. Our strength in power electronics shows up everywhere in Mitsubishi Electric photovoltaic systems.
