Satcon has been chosen to provide 51MW of inverters to PV projects in southern California, the company has announced. Satcon will supply a project that will be interconnected with the San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE) grid once it commences commercial operation in 2013 with 51MW of its Equinox Prism Platform as well as with 1.5MW of Equinox inverter systems.

The PV plant is constructed in the California Independent System Operator Corporation (CAISO) jurisdiction and interconnected through a Qualified Facility for a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (LGIA). The platform solution is a turnkey solution that is specially designed for large-scale PV plants and includes transformers, integrated inverters and MW disconnect switches.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
