Advanced Energy Inverters Installed in 35-MW Calif. Plant
Advanced Energy Industries today announced that its Solaron PV inverters have been installed at a 35-MW solar project located near Coalinga, Calif. The project was awarded to Advanced Energy (AE) by engineering and construction company Cupertino Electric earlier this year to leverage the Solaron PV inverter’s industry-leading energy-efficiency ratings and lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
“After considering all of the options, we found AE to be the best overall choice thanks to their combination of technical solution and price,” said Meisa Kassis, project manager with Cupertino Electric. “Our successful delivery of this project to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) was made possible by the contributions of subcontractors and suppliers like AE.”
The 35-MW project consists of two sites owned by PG&E: Stroud, a 20-MW site, and Westside, a 15-MW site. The two sites are part of the first phase of a five-year PG&E plan to build 250 MW of solar power. The Stroud and Westside installations include 70 of AE’s 500-kW Solaron grid-tied PV inverters, which provide low voltage ride through (LVRT) and reactive power control.
The company’s solar energy business is driving the adoption of solar by lowering the LCOE for its customers. By providing reliable, easy-to-install Solaron and PV Powered inverters and SiteGuard
whole-site O&M services, AE enables utility-scale, commercial, and residential solar project developers to maximize the lifetime value of their power plants. Customers count on AE as a trusted partner, leveraging 30 years of innovation leadership and global services infrastructure for optimum project performance.
