In January, General Motors sold 321 Chevrolet Volt cars. Meanwhile, Nissan, its fiercest electric car competitor, has sold just 87 Leaf cars in the U.S. Both cars went into production at the end of November. GM had originally planned to sell the Volt in only select areas of the country before 2012, but the automaker announced last week that it would expand sales of the Volt to all 50 states by the end of the year. Nissan has said 20,000 people have put down $99 deposits to be put on a waiting list for the car. Those people will get their cars, Al Castignetti, general manager for Nissan in the U.S., said, it just isn't certain when. "Our main goal right now is quality, not quantity," he said. So far, he said, there have been no quality issues and Nissan is working gradually to ramp up production. Nissan plans to open a U.S. plant to build the Leaf in 2012. For now, all Leafs are built in Japan. In December, just after the cars went into production, Nissan sold 19 Leafs in the U.S. while GM sold 326 Volts.

 The KACO blueplanet 02xi inverter series offers a variety of inverter options: 1.5 kW, 2.5kW, 3.5 kW and 5kW. The inverters are supplemented by an extensive array of accessories for plant monitoring and communication. They feature innovative IGBT (insolated gate bipolar transistor) technology and patented MPP tracking algorithms to guarantee the highest conversion efficiencies. Since above average annual yields also depend on the reliability and longevity of the inverter, KACO exclusively uses high quality components: i.e. capacitors designed for use in high temperatures. All the printed circuit boards are permanently protected by a thin and extremely durable polymer coating.
