AIM’s affiliated engineers have provided power quality solutions for commercial, industrial, and municipal facilities for more than 25 years, including over a decade in the Renewable Energy sector. The Company's forte in the industry is its ability to supply a leading edge CIT technology that may be a critical component in achieving superior yields in some Solar and Wind power systems.

Inverters are an essential component of Renewable Energy systems. The AIM inverter can provide up to 30% higher yields in some Solar Energy systems - a significant competitive advantage when assessing the economics of photovoltaic solar. (factory and field testing performed on 6kW and 12kW micro inverter systems – factory testing only completed on utility scale 250kW inverter systems)

In addition to potential superior yields, the AIM inverter is one of few inverters on the market today that meets the 2010 Made-in-Ontario content requirements set in place by the Ontario Power Authority.

Distributed Generation

Distributed generation, also called on-site generation, generates electricity from many small energy sources instead of just one large energy source.

Currently, industrialized countries generate most of their electricity in large centralized facilities, such as coal, nuclear, hydropower or other fossil fuel powered plants. These plants may have excellent economies of scale, but usually transmit electricity over long distances, resulting in a large unnecessary loss of power.

Most plants are built this way due to a number of health & safety, logistical, economic, environmental, geographical and geological factors. For example, coal power plants have always been built away from cities to prevent their heavy air pollution from affecting the populace and Hydroelectric plants are by their nature limited to operating at sites with sufficient water-flow, and so on.
The Distributed Generation of Renewable Energy is another approach. It reduces the amount of energy lost in transmitting electricity because the electricity is generated very near to where it is used, perhaps even in the same building. This method also reduces the size and number of power lines that must be constructed.
