TenKsolar  tenKsolar designs, manufactures and markets an integrated photovoltaic system that leverages integrated electronics and a low-voltage, parallel architecture. Compared to conventional solar systems, the architecture provides 45% better energy density, higher reliability, and is the only PV system that is both shock and arch flash safe. Early in 2008, Dallas Meyer began developing the intellectual property for the company's proprietary technology. Later that year, the company was capitalized with $8 million in investments. In 2009, tenKsolar formed a strategic partnership with Minneapolis-based thin-film manufacturer 3M, which supplies tenKsolar with reflective film to boost light concentration onto the solar panels. This helped the company's RAIS (Redundant Array of Integrated Solar) Wave produce up to 50 percent more energy per square foot than a standard solar array. In September 2010, tenKsolar shipped its first panels and generated about $3 million in revenue. Throughout the year, the company raised about $5.64 million in investments and launched a Series B round of solar panels to boost its sales. Its primary shareholders include PrairieGold Venture Partners and the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative. In April 2012, Hanwha Corp (008800) and ESP Novusmodus LP, a fund backed by Irish state utility Electricity Supply Board, led a $15.5 million Series B investment in tenKsolar. On July 8, 2013, tenKsolar announced a strategic alliance with Gehrlicher North America to deploy high-efficiency RAIS into solar PV projects in the North American market. In May 2017, tenKsolar announced it was suspending operations.  tenKsolar manufactures the RAIS WAVE system which combines PV modules, power electronics, static reflection, and racking configured in a repeating wave pattern to provide the market's most energy dense PV system for flat roof deployments. The cells, modules, and inverters are all wired in parallel, and the module and system voltage is 50 V. The low voltage, parallel architecture contributes to a highly reliable system architecture that has no single point of failure and a system that is inherently safe, with no possibility of generating arc flashes or lethal shocks. This architecture, combined with module integrated power electronics, enables tenKsolar's modules to utilize static/non uniform reflection and therefore generate 20% more energy per installed Watt of power when combined with tenK's integrated reflector. The integrated electronics also enable the system to automatically sense ground faults and shut down immediately.
