Emerson to supply power inverters for two solar energy projects in California

Greentech Lead America: Emerson announced that it will
supply utility-scale power inverters to Quanta Power Generation, a subsidiary
of Quanta Services, for two solar energy projects in California with capacity to
produce a combined 70 megawatts of power.

“We pride ourselves on supplying this and other critical
technology solutions to some of the largest and most innovative energy projects
in the nation. We’re looking forward to our work with Quanta Power Generation
and further demonstrating our commitment to helping meet renewable energy
goals,” said Mark Bulanda, who serves as world leader for Emerson’s solar and
wind energy initiatives. 

Quanta Power Generation will provide the engineering,
procurement, and construction services for the projects. Quanta Power
Generation will use Emerson power
inverters to convert DC power from solar arrays into AC power. Emerson’s
power inverters are controlled through an inverter management system.

“We expect these two facilities to help boost the local
economy by creating jobs and clean, renewable power. Emerson’s innovative
inverter technology, commitment to service and dependability made the company a
logical choice for the project,” said Mike DonMoyer, president of Quanta Power
Generation.

The projects are owned and being developed by two project
company subsidiaries of GCL Solar Energy, a global solar power producer. The
larger of the two plants, have a capacity to generate 50 megawatts of power, is
estimated to be complete by the end of the year. The smaller plant will have
capacity to produce 20 megawatts with anticipated completion in October 2012.
