Power-One Renewable Energy business to transition to the ABB brand name

The Power-One Renewable Energy Business will transition to the ABB brand in May 2014 as part of the planned integration of ABB’s Power-One acquisition. ABB acquired the photovoltaic inverter manufacturer in July 2013. The entire current Power-One Renewable Energy product offering, including all its product names, such as UNO, TRIO and ULTRA, will remain intact under the ABB brand, and all of its product certifications in all countries will remain valid.

In addition to maintaining its current solar offering, ABB will continue developing state-of-the art inverter, monitoring and integrated energy storage solutions to fulfil the growing global demand for solar solutions.

“By transitioning Power-One’s Renewable Energy business to the ABB brand, we will be able to take full advantage of the combination of these two companies. We will have one of the most comprehensive solar inverter offerings under one brand, meeting customers’ needs across all key segments - utility, commercial and residential,” said Pekka Tiitinen, head of ABB’s Discrete Automation and Motion division.

The unified Power-One and ABB solar inverter product offering will be on display together for the first time at trade events, including Solar Expo (Milan on 7-9 May), Intersolar (Munich on 4-6 June), PV America (Boston on 23-25 June) and Intersolar North America (San Francisco on 8-10 July).
