SatCon Photovoltaic Inverters Installed at U.S. Government FacilityUS National Archives & Records Administration Facility, Walth

  
    
  
  
    
      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 375 kW building-integrated 
      photovoltaic (BIPV) system at the Murphy National Archives and Records 
      Administration (NARA) facility in Waltham, Massachusetts. The NARA 
      facility demonstrates a completely integrated roof and solar system—the 
      solar panels are the roof. The flexible, flat panel photovoltaic array 
      is heat-welded into the roofing material and qualifies as a "Cool Roof" 
      under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's EnergyStar program.
    
    
      Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc. provided the building’s 
      143,000 square feet of integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing system. 
      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 the 30 MW of its 
      industry leading commercial grade inverters in North America.
    
    
      "SatCon is pleased to have been selected to supply the inverters for 
      this PV installation at this US government facility ”, 
      said Clemens van Zeyl, President, SatCon Power Systems. "Our PowerGate® 
      Inverter series, ranging from 30 kW to 500 kW, continues to gain 
      acceptance as the power conditioning system of choice driven by market 
      leading efficiencies, simplicity of design and ease of installation " 
      added van Zeyl.
    
    
      “As we provide and install BIPV roofing 
      solutions for our U.S. customers, it is essential that we source 
      inverters that reflect our ‘no compromise’ 
      approach”, stated R. Randall MacEwen, 
      President & CEO of Solar Integrated. “We 
      continue to be attracted to SatCon’s PowerGate® 
      inverter and their partnership approach to business.”
    
    
      This is the second large commercial installation in Massachusetts using 
      SatCon Inverters. Late last year, PowerGate® 
      inverters were used in the largest solar energy system installation in 
      New England, a 425 kilowatt photovoltaic system located on an 
      environmentally remediated brownfield (brightfield) in Brockton, 
      Massachusetts. Eventually the city of Brockton plans to increase the 
      Brockton Brightfield's capacity to 1 megawatt (MW).
