STG DFE NEWS RELEASESustainable Energy's SUNERGY Inverters Power Largest Commercial Rooftop Solar PV System in Western Canada Sustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (TSX VENTURE:STG) ("Sustainable Energy" or the "Company") announced today the grand opening of the largest commercial rooftop solar PV system west of Toronto. The solar power plant installed atop the Ridge Professional Building utilizes Sustainable Energy's extra-low voltage SUNERGY inverter technology.
The Ridge Professional Building located in Medicine Hat, AB now has a 30 kilowatt rooftop PV system that will supply approximately 50 percent of the building's electrical needs. Using solar PV modules from Day4 Energy of Burnaby, B.C. along with Sustainable Energy's SUNERGY inverter technology, this Western Canadian technology-powered system will produce 40 megawatt hours a year for the progressive business center.
"The opening of the Ridge Professional Building's rooftop solar PV system is a huge landmark for Western Canada and is a testament to the growing adoption of renewable energy," said Robert Bucher President & CEO of Sustainable Energy. "We are pleased to provide our safe and efficient inverter technology to this ground-breaking project and expect to see more jurisdictions establish guidelines similar to those in Medicine Hat that will encourage further adoption of renewable energy."
The SUNERGY distributed inverters offer cost, performance and safety advantages over high voltage inverters for rooftop solar PV systems:
