Business Wire
SatCon Technology Corporation� (Nasdaq CM: SATC), a developer of
power management and system architecture solutions for the
alternative energy and distributed power markets today announced
that its PowerGate� commercial grade inverters have been installed
as an integral part of a 375 kW building-integrated photovoltaic
(BIPV) system at the Murphy National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) facility in Waltham, Massachusetts. The NARA
facility demonstrates a completely integrated roof and solar
system�the solar panels are the roof. The flexible, flat panel
photovoltaic array is heat-welded into the roofing material and
qualifies as a "Cool Roof" under the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's EnergyStar program. Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc.
provided the building�s 143,000 square feet of integrated
photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing system. SatCon�s PowerGate�
high-efficiency inverters are a critical component of the system,
converting the sun�s energy produced by the photovoltaic panels
into alternating current electricity that is used to power the
facility. To date, SatCon has shipped more the 30 MW of its
industry leading commercial grade inverters in North America.
"SatCon is pleased to have been selected to supply the inverters
for this PV installation at this US government facility �, said
Clemens van Zeyl, President, SatCon Power Systems. "Our PowerGate�
Inverter series, ranging from 30 kW to 500 kW, continues to gain
acceptance as the power conditioning system of choice driven by
market leading efficiencies, simplicity of design and ease of
installation " added van Zeyl. �As we provide and install BIPV
roofing solutions for our U.S. customers, it is essential that we
source inverters that reflect our �no compromise� approach�, stated
R. Randall MacEwen, President & CEO of Solar Integrated. �We
continue to be attracted to SatCon�s PowerGate� inverter and their
partnership approach to business.� This is the second large
commercial installation in Massachusetts using SatCon Inverters.
Late last year, PowerGate� inverters were used in the largest solar
energy system installation in New England, a 425 kilowatt
photovoltaic system located on an environmentally remediated
brownfield (brightfield) in Brockton, Massachusetts. Eventually the
city of Brockton plans to increase the Brockton Brightfield's
capacity to 1 megawatt (MW). About SatCon Technology Corporation
