      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 SolarCraft installed 1.1 
      Megawatt solar energy system at Paramount Farms, Inc., the world’s 
      largest vertically integrated supplier of pistachios and almonds. The 
      installation, located in California's San Joaquin Valley, spans 8 acres 
      and is reportedly one of the largest single-site, privately-owned solar 
      energy systems in the United States. This solar system enables Paramount 
      Farms to generate enough clean electricity each day to power 300 average 
      homes. The new system will spare the air nearly 2,600 tons of harmful 
      greenhouse gases annually. Over the next 30 years, the air pollution 
      saved will be equivalent to driving over 176 million miles.
    
    
      SolarCraft, experts in solar system design and installation, was 
      responsible for the design and construction of the Paramount Farms 
      system. With over 4,000 commercial and residential installations to its 
      credit, SolarCraft has installed more solar energy systems than any 
      other company in California’s North Bay. 
      SolarCraft installs over 200 solar energy systems per year.
    
    
      “SolarCraft selected SatCon for this job 
      because we have had a great deal of success at many other commercial 
      installations with this inverter brand.” 
      stated Chris Bunas, Vice President of SolarCraft’s 
      Solar Electric Division. “SatCon has become 
      our main choice for commercial inverters because of their high 
      performance, ease of installation and smaller overall packaging. So far, 
      the two 500 kW inverters at Paramount Farms have been performing beyond 
      expectations.”
    
    
      SatCon’s PowerGate® 
      Inverter series, ranging from 30 kW to 500 kW, continues to gain 
      acceptance as the Photovoltaic Inverter system of choice. SatCon has 
      delivered over 15MW of commercial grade inverters this calendar year and 
      is experiencing significant demand for its inverter products.
