BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

“Our PowerGate Plus 1 megawatt system will set the new standard for output efficiency and quality in the power conditioning industry”

“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.
