Our Track Record

Four Decades Building Australian Energy Systems

From the world's first universal MPPT in 1985 to today's integrated commercial energy systems, AERL has spent four decades designing, building and supporting power solutions for Australian sites and projects.

Origins in Power Optimisation

AERL's origins trace back to research into maximum power point tracking — optimising the transfer of energy from solar arrays to loads, a problem that would define the company's direction.

Company Founded

AERL was founded after developing the Power Optimizer — the world's first universal Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) for solar applications. The technology was tested in partnership with the US Department of Energy and Florida State University.

Industrial Applications

Building on the MAXIMIZER platform, AERL developed specialised controllers for cathodic protection of oil, gas, and water pipelines. Between 1993 and 2007, over 75% of World Solar Challenge teams competed using AERL MPPT technology.

A New Chapter

AERL was relaunched under Peter Watkinson, the founder's son, with renewed investment in research and development — growing from an MPPT specialist into an end-to-end energy systems company.
