The OK4All is the new inverter we are currently developing. It is the long expended follow-up of the OK4, the first micro-inverter, also called an AC module inverter.
Originally we had the plan to the design 'an open source', to be published on the internet, so that anybody would be able to produce it in exchange for paying a small fee.
On September 3 2009, we sold the technology which is implemented in the OK4All, to SMA. And we are happy we sold the technology to a solid company that can make it a success. Amongs other, this implies that it will not be an open source design.
For more information download the press release about this acquisition by SMA.
