regulation units is the culmination of many years of hard work by
our dedicated staff and is a very important milestone for the
company," said Brett Ironside,
President & CEO of MicroPlanet. "These new units represent
completion of the redesign of our product suite to include the new
features and attributes end users were asking for. This
redesign includes full data and communications smart metering
features, improved power quality correction features, bi
directional functionality, and a standardized common component
platform. MicroPlanet has proven its technology the past years,
most recently being highlighted in a report presented at the World
Renewable Energy Forum in Denver
Colorado by the National Renewable Energy Labs (NREL) on
MicroPlanet's successful deployment for the Solar Decathlon. We now
have the ability to commercially install these new products and
prove the commercial business case and economic value of this
technology. We will now focus our efforts on installing units with
industry leaders in Australia and
the United States specifically
targeting iconic reference and testimonial customers that could
install our technology in large scale. Our success in this
objective will completely change the scope and potential of
MicroPlanet as markets recognize the ramifications of this
commercially viable energy saving and power quality improvement
technology," concluded Mr. Ironside.
