Google Chose the Winner of Its $1M Contest to Design a Miniature Inverter

Google and IEEE announced today that Belgium’s Red Electrical Devils, a team from CE+T Power, has won the Little Box Challenge, a competition to invent a much smaller inverter for interconnecting solar power systems to the power grid. The success earned the team a $1 million prize while proving that inverters can be the size of a tablet or smaller rather than the size of a picnic cooler, a size reduction of more than a factor of 10.
