Sparq Systems designs and manufactures the Quad microinverter — one intelligent device optimizing four solar panels, engineered for 25-year design life and a pan-India distribution network through Reliance.
TSXV: SPRQ OTCQB: SPRQF FSE: M26The Quad architecture eliminates the electrolytic capacitor — the #1 failure component in competing microinverters — and replaces fixed hardware with software-defined, OTA-upgradeable control.
One inverter handles four PV panels — 75% fewer devices than traditional 1:1 microinverters, cutting installation cost and complexity.
Eliminates the #1 failure component in the field, delivering a 25-year design life that matches the solar panels themselves.
Differential-geometry digital control — the intelligence is algorithm, not hardware. Multi-mode: seamless on-grid / off-grid / diesel-gen switching.
Targets $0.08/W — on par with central inverters, at the panel level, with the reliability of a solid-state design.
Consolidating ~150 components toward 15 — an iPhone-sized next-generation inverter on a defined integration path.
The AI Grid Power Control layer enables zero-export and dynamic trading — the device improves in the field, over the air.
In February 2024, SPARQ entered a long-term manufacturing and supply agreement with Jio Things Ltd, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries — India's largest company.
SPARQ designs; IL JIN (Amber Enterprises) manufactures in India; Jio distributes via its pan-India network. SPARQ bears zero CapEx, zero working capital, and zero distribution cost.
Reliance is investing $10B+ in the Jamnagar New Energy Complex, targeting 10 GW/yr of solar module capacity scaling to 20–30 GW. At ~500K microinverters per 1 GW, the addressable pull is structural — not a single order.
Jio Sparq micro inverters featured at REI Exhibition, India Energy Week, and Smarter E Summit 2026.
