Chint's 20kW platform has been tested by PHOTON Labs as a "top 10" inverter of all models evaluated (as of November, 2011) and recognized with a "red dot" award for industrial design.  Also, this summer, BEW Engineering completed an independent engineering report on Chint Power Systems business and product line.  This successful project adds to Chint's positive testimonials which reflect its tagline, "Inverter Performance You Can Bank On."
