Satcon to provide solar tech to Calif. site

By Kyle Alspach

Satcon Technology Corp. (Nasdaq:SATC) has been chosen to supply solar power inverter equipment for a 15-megawatt solar project in California, the company said Thursday.

The Boston-based firm said the ground-mounted installation would be located near Fresno and would be built for utility Pacific Gas and Electric. Satcon’s customer in the deal is contractor Solon, which is based in Germany.

Satcon said it will be supplying its 1.25 MW Prism Platform, a medium-voltage solution that includes transformers, disconnect switches and power conversion electronics optimized for utility-scale photovoltaic installations.

Satcon has been expanding as the solar industry trends more toward multi-megawatt solar projects. The company said in February that it has chosen Boston for the location of its North American manufacturing expansion, which includes the hiring of 25 manufacturing workers.
