Satcon Launches Solstice 500 Kilowatt System Solution at Intersolar North America
July 14 2010 - 5:00AM
Business Wire
Satcon Technology Corporation®(NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading
provider of utility scale power solutions for the renewable energy
market, today announced the launch of the Satcon™ Solstice® 500
kilowatt system solution, now available in North America. The
Solstice 500 kilowatt system expands upon Satcon’s portfolio of
industry leading solar PV inverter technologies designed to address
the needs of large multi –megawatt, utility scale systems,
including the PowerGate Plus® 500 kW, the Prism™ 1 MW medium
voltage package solution, and the 1 MW PowerGate Plus inverter
solution.
Satcon Solstice is the industry’s first complete distributed
power conversion system, delivering fine grained power harvesting
and control with advanced utility ready grid interconnection. The
500 kW solution will join the previously launched 100 kW UL and the
125 kW CE systems to provide for a wider range of system designs
that can be addressed with the Solstice solution suite.
Solstice revolutionizes large utility and commercial solar power
plants by allowing the central inverter to monitor, manage and
control the array at less than 3 kilowatt increments, as well as
optimize each string with its own individual Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT). The combination of fine grained harvesting of each
panel string along with a highly efficient central inverter design
insures the Solstice platform will deliver more power over the
lifetime of the PV system by increasing total system harvest
optimization and system uptime and safety. This results in an
increase in total power production by 5-12 percent over designs
using standard inverters, while simultaneously reducing the overall
system material costs by 20- 25 percent.
“With the first 100kW sites producing power today and proving
significant performance improvements, the addition of the 500
kilowatt system enables us to drive the leading edge of solar
innovation deeper into the large scale commercial and utility
markets,” said Steve Rhoades, Satcon’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. "As the next generation solution for this
utility scale category, Solstice will radically change the value
equation of large scale solar power production, as the gains in
system wide performance is directly proportional to the size of the
installations."
