Boston, MA, USA: SatCon Launches Next Generation Photovoltaic
Inverters
SatCon
Technology, a developer of power management and system architecture
solutions for the alternative energy and distributed power markets
today announced the launch of its high efficiency, 30kW & 50kW
PowerGate® Plus photovoltaic inverters. PowerGate® Plus photovoltaic
inverters are the next generation of PowerGate® inverters for
commercial and large-scale grid connected photovoltaic power systems
that have become recognized for their reliability, energy efficiency
and ease-of-use.
“PowerGate
Plus 30 & 50 kW inverters are the first of a new series inverters
that have been designed for high-efficiency, improved energy harvesting,
and long-life”, stated Clemens van Zeyl, President of SatCon’s
Power System Division. “These inverters have also been designed
for ease of manufacture and maintenance, which will significantly
increase our manufacturing capacity, reduce our lead-times, and
reduce operating costs for our customers. We welcome customers
and investors to visit our booth at the PowerGen Renewable trade
show and see first hand this exciting new product with its many
features designed to benefit the solar photovoltaic industry”
The
30kW and 50kW PowerGate Plus inverter incorporates many of the
features of the original PowerGate Inverter plus several improvements
that add further value to photovoltaic power systems. The new
30kW and 50kW inverter models were fully certified to UL1741-2005
approval at the end of January with a California Energy Commission
(CEC) efficiency rating of 95% and 95.5% respectively.
In
addition to these leading CEC efficiencies for the sub-50kW, three-phase
class of inverters, PowerGate Plus inverters utilize a proprietary
enclosure constructed from long-life G90 galvanized steel, the
latest advanced digital signal processing control, an advanced
human machine interface (HMI) with display visible in sunlight
and membrane keypad for easy identification of power system status
and inverter setup, and many other features that add increased
value to solar photovoltaic power systems.
