New
Contract for Delivery of Five Santerno TG760 1000V Solar Power
Inverters Expands Santerno Penetration Into Eastern Europe with New 5
MW Photovoltaic System.
San
Francisco (September 18, 2013) -- Santerno,
the Carraro Group company that specializes in alternative energy
electronics and industrial automation, has signed an agreement with
Greenwood Biosar, the engineering, procurement, and construction
(EPC) division of Greenwood Energy, to deliver five Santerno TG760
1000V solar inverters for installation at a new solar project in
Calarasi, Romania. The PC inverters will deliver nearly 5 MW of solar
power. This contract also increases Santerno's market footprint in
Eastern Europe; in the first six months of 2013 Santerno has
installed photovoltaic (PV) inverters that deliver 35 MW of power in
Romania and 40 MW of power in Greece.
According
to company estimates, these five Santerno TG760 inverters will
deliver a total output of 4998.245 kWp, or an estimated 6,739 MW
hours per year. Santerno's TG solar inverters are manufactured in
Italy for use in media and large utility-scale PV systems. These
best-in-class outdoor inverters are designed to deliver maximum yield
for the lowest cost, and have all the grid code integrated features
needed for compliance with advanced European and global power
standards, including LVRT (low-voltage ride through), Reactive Power
Control, Frequency and Voltage controls. The Santerno inverters are
designed for optimal performance in harsh environments with a long
meantime between failure.
"Greenwood
Biosar has already seen the value of our solar inverter technology in
their Vermont utility-scale PV installation and in a number of
installations in Greece," said Marco Tecchio, Chief Executive
Officer of Santerno. "Our TG760 is ideally suited for the new
Romanian installation, since the climate is moderate and there is
nominal rainfall. The TG760 has performed flawlessly in harsher
environments and we expect these inverters will be in service for
years to come."
All
of Santerno's solar power inverters feature a modular design for easy
inspection and repair. Remote monitoring via the Web also is
supported using the Santerno online monitoring system, which can be
used to manage single-device or multi-inverter installations.
Santerno uses an innovative satellite linking system so even if a
local Internet connection is unavailable, a satellite link connects
the PV system to the Web-based Santerno Portal monitoring system no
matter what the location or terrain. Santerno's inverters also have
embedded Utility Interactive Features that are software controlled
and completely configurable based on the appropriate grid code.
Santerno
continues to expand into PV global markets with new contracts signed
recently in South Africa and the United States as well as Eastern
Europe.
