Advanced Energy utility solar inverters selected for 150MW solar power plant by Zachry Industrial

FORT COLLINS, USA: Advanced Energy Industries Inc. announced that its Solaron PV inverters and SafeGuard service program have been selected to power a 150-megawatt project located in Arizona. The project was awarded to Advanced Energy by Zachry Industrial Inc., a leading US EPC provider. The Solaron PV inverters were selected for this project through a rigorous competitive bidding process.

"After evaluating multiple inverter options, we found Advanced Energy provided the leading product and service offering for the project," said Al Hood with Zachry. "We look forward to working with Advanced Energy on this momentous project which reflects Zachry's commitment to the solar market."

The project is slated to begin construction in mid-2011 and be completed in 2013. When completed, we believe the project will be one of the largest photovoltaic solar installations in North America with a planned output capacity that is currently larger than any solar PV project installed worldwide.

The project will utilize the Solaron 500kW inverters configured as 2MW PowerStation™ solutions and will be supported by Advanced Energy's SafeGuard Plus inverter uptime program.

"We are honored to be selected by Zachry for such a landmark utility-scale project," said Gregg Patterson, executive VP and GM of Advanced Energy Renewables. "As the solar industry matures, project stakeholders recognize that high-performance, high-reliability products and services from a bankable partner like Advanced Energy provide maximum return on investment."
