Latronic Sunpower PTY LTD

The principal business of the company is to design and manufacture power Inverters that convert DC battery power to AC mains power. All products are manufactured with the Latronics registered trademark.

With the main focus on international competitiveness, the company has adopted a policy of continuous improvement increasing its overall efficiency, while implementing Quality Standards like ISO 9001. The success of the Inverter range has enabled the company to undertake research and development into new and improved products associated with alternative energy, culminating in the emphasis on quality, reliability, and efficiency.

Since its inception, the company has grown in strength and stature as evident by the release of the grid tied PV EDGE Inverter and the LS SERIES of wall mount Inverters. Company growth has been further enhanced by the ability to undertake special industrial projects in both development and production stages. To date, Latronics have manufactured customised units for mines, railways, telecommunications and various power utilities.

Latronics have supplied quality Inverters for domestic, industrial and alternative energy markets to over 30 countries. Pioneering and constantly refining a highly sophisticated quality management system ensures that Latronics Inverters continue as the standard against which other Inverters are measured.

Environmental Statement

As an environmentally responsible company, we embrace every opportunity to develop a sustainable future.

Our commitment to the environment extends well beyond the recyclable case housing our technologically advanced inverters. Highly skilled engineers have designed products that not only outlast most of our competitors, but can be easily repaired and recommissioned to last even longer – should anything ever actually fault!

This commitment reflects our philosophy to design and manufacture products that abstain from a ‘throw-away’ society.

The manufacturing process for all of our products generates very little waste. Our quality-focussed employees recognise the importance of waste minimisation and even strive to exceed our stringent waste management programs. In fact, with so many different recycling bins, Latronics recycles just about everything from cardboard to copper to the components of obsolete PCBs.

Unlike most other manufacturers, our manufacturing process is also carbon neutral. With over 25kW of panels masquerading our building roofs, it could be argued that our manufacturing process even ‘helps’ the environment as we often export more power to the grid than we use. No other manufacturer in Australia can say the same!

One of our secrets in minimising our environmental impact is that our buildings and premises take advantage of the abundant natural surroundings. Natural lighting and as much natural ventilation as practically possible is integrated into all buildings – significantly reducing our need for electricity. Incorporating water tanks, solar hot water, native plants and even a solar cooker, we aim to make a healthy and sustainable use of our environment.

Latronics is also a founding member of Cleantech industries Sunshine Coast who as an industry body help promote efficient, clean and green energy practices

By continuously monitoring and reducing our impact on the environment, we can confidently assure our customers that any Latronics product purchased is manufactured under the greenest circumstances.

Latronics was the World's first Carbon Neutral Inverter Manufacturer

In late December 2007 a new 20.3kW Grid Connect system was commissioned. Combined with an existing 5.6kW array, we now have a total solar input of 26kW making our factory at the time one of the largest Solar installations in QLD.

As a completely self funded system it demonstrates our dedication and commitment to a sustainable future.

'Latronics is dedicated to producing quality products for the benefit of our planets future'

ON-GRID PRODUCTS FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES

A Residential On-Grid Inverter works by taking the DC power generated from solar or other renewable sources and converting it to AC which can be fed into the Grid.

MOBILE AND MARINE POWER PRODUCTS

Mains power in a Car, Recreational Vehicle or Boat can be obtained by converting the energy stored in your batteries using a Latronics LS Inverter. Depending on what type of appliances you are using you will find an LS Inverter to suit.
