The Company is a leading provider of megawatt-scale solutions that lower the cost of wind power and enhance the performance of the power grid. In the wind power market, the Company enables manufacturers to field wind turbines through its advanced engineering, support services and power electronics products.

The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue operations and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Liquidity</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:justify;text-indent:37px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March 31, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company had an accumulated deficit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$988.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. In addition, the Company has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows.  At </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March 31, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$34.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Cash used in operations for the year ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March 31, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$24.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:37px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">From April 1, 2011 through the date of this filing, the Company has reduced its global workforce substantially. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 the Company announced an </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">8%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> reduction in force, primarily affecting employees in its Devens, Massachusetts facility, effective April 4, 2017 which led to a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> restructuring charge during the year ended March 31, 2018. See Note 17 "Restructuring" for further discussion of this action. The Company continues to consolidate certain business operations to reduce facility costs.  As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March 31, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company had a global workforce of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">247</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> persons.  The Company plans to closely monitor its expenses and, if required, expects to further reduce operating costs and capital spending to enhance liquidity. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:37px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Over the last several years, the Company has entered into several debt and equity financing arrangements in order to raise capital.  Since April 1, 2012, the Company has generated aggregate cash flows from financing activities of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$85.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, including net proceeds of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$2.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> during the three months ended March 31, 2017 from the Company's At Market Issuance Sales Agreement ("ATM") with FBR Capital Markets & Co.  In addition, on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May 10, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company completed an additional equity offering, which generated net proceeds of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company terminated the ATM in conjunction with this equity offering. See Note 11, “Debt”, and Note 14 “Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion of these financing arrangements. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February 5, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with 64 Jackson, LLC (the “Purchaser”) and Stewart Title Guaranty Company (“Escrow Agent”), to effectuate the sale of certain real property located at 64 Jackson Road, Devens, Massachusetts, including the building that has served as the Company’s headquarters (collectively, the “Property”), in exchange for total consideration of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$23.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, composed of (i) cash consideration of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and (ii) a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$6.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> subordinated secured commercial promissory note payable to the Company (the "Seller Note"). Subsequently, the Seller, the Purchaser and Jackson 64 MGI, LLC (“Assignee”) entered into an Assignment of Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser assigned all of its rights and interests in the PSA to the Assignee and the Assignee agreed to assume all of the Purchaser’s obligations and liabilities under the PSA. The transaction closed on March 28, 2018, at which time the Company received, from the Assignee, cash consideration, net of certain agreed upon closing costs, of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$16.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and the Seller Note at an interest rate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.96%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The Seller Note is secured by a subordinated second mortgage on the Property and a subordinated second assignment of leases and rents.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:37px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In December 2015, the Company entered into a set of strategic agreements valued at approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$210.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> with Inox, which includes a multi-year supply contract pursuant to which the Company will supply electric control systems to Inox Wind Ltd. (“Inox”) and a license agreement allowing Inox to manufacture a limited number of electrical control systems until Inox purchases the specified number of electrical control systems required under the terms of the supply contract.  After Inox purchases the specified number of electrical control systems required under the terms of the supply contract, Inox agreed that the Company will continue as Inox’s preferred supplier and Inox will be required to purchase from the Company a majority of its electric control systems requirements for an additional </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">-year period. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:37px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company believes based on the information presented above, and its annual management assessment, that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and capital expenditures for the next twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements.  The Company’s liquidity is highly dependent on its ability to increase revenues, its ability to control its operating costs, and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise additional capital from other sources or execute on any other means of improving liquidity described above.</font></div></div>
CY2018	us-gaap	Use Of Estimates UseOfEstimates	<div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:24px;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Use of Estimates</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:justify;text-indent:37px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, collectability of receivables, realizability of inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty provisions, stock-based compensation, valuation of warrant and derivative liabilities, tax reserves, and deferred tax assets. Provisions for depreciation are based on their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Some of these estimates can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While for any given estimate or assumption made by the Company’s management there may be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable, the Company believes that, given the current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any such other reasonable estimate or assumption would materially impact the financial statements.</font></div></div>
