New
contract will support 126 MW solar photovoltaic facility in Thailand.
IMOLA,
Italy (June 18, 2013) -- Santerno,
the Carraro Group company that specializes in alternative energy
electronics and industrial automation, today announced that the
company has reached an agreement with Energy Absolute, the renewable
energy business network in Thailand, to provide solar power inverters
to the largest photovoltaic plant in Southeast Asia. Under the terms
of the contract, Santerno will supply all the integrated inverters
for the new utility-size plant being constructed in the Thai province
of Nakorn Sawan.
Under
the terms of the agreement, Santerno is delivering a three-phase
solar inverter housed in an outdoor cabinet specified to withstand
extreme weather conditions of the rainforest. The same type of
product is currently being used in a photovoltaic facility under
construction in Calexico, California, where temperatures can reach
120 degrees Fahrenheit. The agreement also calls for Santerno to
oversee service and maintenance of the new system for two years, as
well as support for photovoltaic systems in other parts of the
country. Santerno will be launching a new service center in Thailand
with a maintenance team on staff in the near future.
"Asia
offers strategic and attractive growth prospects for Santerno,"
said Marco Tecchio, Chief Executive Officer of Santerno. "The
Carraro Group has been operating in China for a decade and as a
result Santerno is one of the few international companies in the
renewables market that has solar inverters installed throughout
Southeast Asia. This agreement with Energy Absolute is an important
milestone in our expansion into the Asian solar market. We are proud
to participate in such a high-profile project that will contribute to
saving the environment and producing clean energy."
Santerno
is aggressively expanding into new global markets with new contracts
signed recently in South Africa and the United States.
