Satcon Technology Corporation (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading
provider of utility scale power solutions for the renewable energy
market, today announced the first commercial deployment of its
newly introduced next generation Solstice power conversion solution
for commercial and utility solar PV.
The 425 kW rooftop installation will supply power to Alpha
Grainger Manufacturing’s Franklin, Massachusetts facility and was
developed by Broadway Electrical. The solar plant was built as part
of Alpha Grainger’s green initiative to offset their manufacturing
plants high usage of energy with clean renewable energy and is set

sixteen Solstice SSB combiner boxes which house the unique string
level DC to DC conversion, maximum power point tracking,
performance management and system communications technologies.

designers, installers and developers in New England and has been a
