Magnetek, Inc. recently announced that its Aurora indoor solar power inverter line received a design award during INTEL 2005, the international biennial electrical engineering, electronics, lighting, industrial automation, security and components show held late last month in Milan, Italy.

According to Magnetek, the INTEL Design Award citation states that Aurora offers "unmatched performance that allows it to harvest more energy from the photovoltaic cells using special control algorithms.

"The external look, innovative and attractive, with the integrated graphical display and the many data communication options, is designed for ease of installation and use," notes the citation. "Aurora represents the best choice not only for residential but also for commercial photovoltaic systems, where several units are readily connected in parallel to increase power output."
