Satcon Selected for Showcase 1.2 Megawatt Installations in Delaware
13 October 2010 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Satcon Technology Corporation® (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading
provider of utility grade power conversion solutions for the
renewable energy market, today announced that they have been
selected by Sustainable Energy Generation Group (SEG) for a 1.2
megawatt (MW) solar power station at a water treatment facility in
Kent County, Delaware. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) funded project will be the first commercial side by side
installation of Satcon’s PowerGate® Plus and Solstice
solutions.
The 1.2 MW site will deploy six of Satcon’s PowerGate Plus solar
PV inverters, the world’s most widely deployed large-scale,
utility-ready solution with over 800 MW sold since its introduction
in 2002, along with six Satcon’s Solstice® systems, the industry’s
first complete power-harvesting and array management solution for
large-scale commercial and utility-scale solar power plants. SEG
will install 5,850 poly-crystalline silicon based solar modules and
the total plant is expected to produce 1.4gWh of clean energy
annually, avoiding the release of over 4,000 lbs of nitrogen oxides
and sulfur dioxide, as well as 1.4 million lbs of carbon dioxide,
from a fossil fuel plant of the same size.
“The Kent County Water Treatment project has given us the
ability to showcase the state of the art in solar technologies,”
said Pierre D’Amours, President and COO of SEG Group. “Satcon has
been a close partner of SEG for many years. Solstice is a giant
leap forward for large scale solar system innovation, enabling us
to significantly increase overall system power production while
gaining system design flexibility. We are excited to be the first
commercial site to demonstrate the performance enhancements in
order to provide Kent County taxpayers with a greener footprint,
income through the sale of Renewable Energy Credits (REC), and a
full scale demonstration of the new technologies now available to
help make large scale solar real.”
Introduced in 2009, Solstice leverages string level power
conversion and energy harvest optimization that is integrated as a
complete system with a highly optimized centralized inverter.
Solstice increases the overall energy yield of solar installations
by 5-12% while at the same time reducing the other balance of
system material costs by 20- 25% compared to a centralized inverter
system.
“SEG continues to deliver some of the world’s most progressive
utility-scale solar power plants,” said Dr. Leo Casey, Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer of Satcon Technology. “The
Kent County project will enable us to develop a side by side
installation together where we can clearly see the performance
differences of the two technologies in the same conditions. We are
excited to partner with them on this exciting project that will
demonstrate the next generation of solar power technologies.”
