      Satcon (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading provider of utility scale 
      distributed power solutions for the renewable energy market, announced 
      today that they are taking orders for their PowerGate™Plus 
      1 megawatt (MW) commercial PV inverter system, designed with advanced 
      features for large scale utility installations.
    
    
      “It is exciting to see the industry move 
      toward larger scale projects,” said Tobin 
      Booth, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Oak Energy. “The 
      demand for utility grade installations is increasing at a rapid pace and 
      systems of this size and scale require higher levels of efficiency and 
      overall performance. With the addition of the 1 megawatt PowerGate Plus 
      unit, Satcon continues to deliver the next generation of solutions for 
      these large projects.”
    
    
      Satcon’s 1 MW PowerGate™ 
      Plus is delivered as a fully integrated power conditioning system for 
      rapid and reliable installation. 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. All PowerGate™ 
      Plus solutions leverage Edge™, Satcon’s 
      next generation MPPT solution to optimize the power production window 
      and significantly boost a solar PV plant kilowatt yield.
    
    
      “Our PowerGate Plus 1 megawatt system will 
      set the new standard for output efficiency and quality in the power 
      conditioning industry,” said Dr. Leo Casey, 
      Satcon’s Chief Technology Officer. “We 
      worked closely with our customers and partners to engineer our solutions 
      with the intelligence and advanced control capabilities required to 
      manage large scale, utility grade solar energy production.”
    
    
      Delivery for the PowerGate™ Plus 1 MW units 
      will begin in the first quarter of 2009.
