Chicago, IL, December 2, 2001: HiGrow Technologies reported first core team for Research & Development focused on solar inverters, energy conversion systems, and early-stage battery integration technologies.
Operating out of a shared space in Chicago, this cross-disciplinary team brought together engineers, material scientists, and software developers — all united by a vision of a sustainable energy future.
The team’s primary goal was to investigate and prototype small-scale energy solutions that could be adapted for homes, shops, and remote areas with unstable power infrastructure.
This strategic investment into in-house R&D laid the foundation for HiGrow’s future product lines, including what would eventually become the Inverters, and later, energy storage systems used globally.
