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. About SatCon Technology Corporation SatCon Technology
