Satcon delivers 1-megawatt photovoltaic inverter
Boston, Mass. — Satcon Technology Corp., a provider of utility scale distributed power solutions for the renewable energy market, is taking orders for its PowerGate Plus 1-megawatt (MW) commercial PV inverter system, designed with advanced features for large-scale utility installations.

The 1 MW PowerGate Plus is delivered as a fully integrated power conditioning system. Based on the company's installed and proven line of 1.2 MW and 2.4 MW fuel cell inverters, the 1 MW PV inverter solution is designed from the ground up to maximize the energy from the solar array and to ensure maximum energy delivery over much longer distances typical for large-area array systems, said Satcon.

All PowerGate Plus solutions leverage Edge, Satcon's next-generation MPPT solution to optimize the power production window and to significantly boost a solar PV plant kilowatt yield.

Delivery for the PowerGate Plus 1 MW units will begin in the first quarter of 2009.
