Advanced Energy Industries, which is moving its solar inverter manufacturing operations to Fort Collins, Colo., has renewed the lease on its building in northeast Bend, Compass Commercial Real Estate Services announced Monday.

The 105,000-square-foot building at 20720 Brinson Boulevard was leased in 2008 by PV Powered, which Advanced Energy bought in 2010. Going forward, it will serve as a site for research and development and a location for spare products and service, according to a news release from Compass Commercial. The length of time for the lease was not listed, and a representative from the real estate firm could not be reached.

Advanced Energy announced in April that it would consolidate its Bend manufacturing with similar operations in Colorado. At the same time, the company announced it had bought an inverter maker based in Germany.
