Profitable PV Power
The Satcon PowerGate Plus 1 MW PV inverters have a significant impact
on the profitability dynamic of large-scale solar PV systems. With its system
intelligence, next-generation EDGE MPPT technology and industrial-grade
engineering, the PowerGate Plus 1 MW inverters maximize system uptime
and power production, even in the harshest environments.
Advanced, Rugged, and Reliable
Engineered from the ground up to meet the demands of large-scale installations,
Satcon PV inverters feature an outdoor-rated enclosure, advanced monitoring
and control capabilities and EDGE, Satcons next-generation MPPT solution.
Proven Performance
The proven leader in solar PV inverter solutions for commercial installations,
Satcon sets the standards for efficient large-scale power conversion.
Increased PV Plant Yield
At the heart of PowerGate Plus is EDGE, Satcons next-generation power
optimization solution. With rapid and accurate MPPT control, EDGE increases
PV plant kWh yield by extending the production window of arrays, enabling
them to operate at optimal voltage and current levels for longer periods of
timeeven in varied sun conditions. To maximize efficiency, EDGE improves the
performance of all PV technologies, including fixed and tracking solar arrays,
enabling you to get the most from your investment.
