Europe's Utility major picked Satcon

BOSTON, US: Satcon Technology Corporation, a provider of utility-scale power solutions for the renewable energy market, has been selected by BIOSAR Energy SA, one of Europe’s  photovoltaic (PV) solar energy development companies, for multiple utility-scale power plants across Italy, Greece and Bulgaria.

BIOSAR will deploy thirty-two 625 kilowatt (kW) Equinox inverters, Satcon’s utility-ready solution. With a peak efficiency of 98.5 per cent and the industry’s widest thermal operating range, Equinox enhances system-wide energy harvest and solar plant yield, enabling the large-scale solar industry's highest return on investment (ROI) and the industry's lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), as claimed in a release.

“BIOSAR is one of the region’s most successful solar energy companies and the largest and most successful EPC in the Balkans,” said Dr. Kostas Daniilidis, Managing Partner of SDL Solar. “These sites will showcase the state of the art in system design and technology, and will achieve the highest levels of performance and reliability. In addition, Satcon inverters’ significantly low consumption will provide more assurance to BIOSAR when offering Performance Ratio Guarantees to investors.”
