SatCon Photovoltaic Inverters Installed at Largest US Commercial Site1.6 MW Google Solar "Campus" (Photo: 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 Google’s 
      corporate headquarters in Mountain View, California. The 1.6MW system is 
      the largest commercial photovoltaic system in the United States.
    
    
      Sharp provided 9,212 208-watt modules for the project, which was 
      designed and installed by EI Solutions of San Rafael, California. 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 than 50 MW of its industry leading commercial grade 
      inverters in North America.
    
    
      The new system will spare the air nearly 3,637,627 lbs/year of harmful 
      greenhouse gases annually. Over the next 30 years, the carbon dioxide 
      reduction will be equivalent to eliminating over 128 million car driving 
      miles.
    
    
      About PowerGateTM 
      Inverters
    
    
      PowerGateTM inverters are designed for use with 
      alternative energy power systems to generate distributed electrical 
      power. Distributed, alternative energy power generation is a growing 
      trend toward the production of clean, reliable power at the point of 
      use. Alternative energy systems can alleviate congestion on highly 
      loaded utility electrical distribution networks and offer an alternative 
      to power line extensions in remote areas. Many alternative energy power 
      systems require high-power, high-reliability inverters and controls to 
      convert the power generated to useable AC power compatible with the 
      electric power grid.
