Company Profile

Overview

Power Solutions Australia is recognised by its customers as a key provider of power electronic converter products and services to meet their needs particularly for renewable energy and remote area power systems. We achieve this by commitment to meeting customer needs, our experience, expertise and advanced hardware and software technologies.

Our products are internationally competitive and are recognised for their high levels of integration and functionality. We work closely with customers and distributors to design and provide power electronic products that meet their needs, and identify and explore emerging opportunities and markets that draw on the company's skills and expertise. All customers receive a high level of support irrespective of their size, location or product.

The company is widely recognised in the industry for the effectiveness, reliability and breadth of its product range in remote area power, renewable and grid connected applications.

On 1 July 2000 Selectronic Australia took ownership of 51% of PSA. Selectronic has contract manufactured PSA's standard 3kW and 5kW products since that time and has designed and manufactured its own range of inverters up to 4kW. The association brings together two major players in the Australian renewable industry.
