NEWS- GREECESustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (STG:TSXV) - News Alert SUNERGY(TM) Inverters Harvest More Energy from 50kW BIPV Facade in AthensHighlights:-- Largest BIPV system in Greece is performance-optimized with parallel" system architecture.-- SUNERGY(TM) and the benefits of parallel architecture are key to winning project-- Patented "parallel" technologies will drive leadership for SUNERGY(TM) in growing BIPV marketSustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (TSX VENTURE:STG) ("Sustainable Energy")
Canada's leader in solar inverter technologies announced today that
its inverters have been installed on the largest BIPV system in Greece.
The 50kW facade will provide power to the new 'Athens Mall' in the
city's Saint Dimitrios suburb."This is a very important milestone as it signals to the industry
the unique value of the SUNERGY(TM) inverters for architecturally
integrated solar power systems," said Michael Carten Chief Executive
Officer of Sustainable Energy."Building integrated systems, sometimes called BIPV, are the
future of the solar power industry, but development has lagged
due to the crippling effect of shading and variances in
orientation on total system performance that occurs with
the conventional "series" system architecture" required by
high voltage inverters.""Sustainable Energy's "parallel" system architecture now
gives architects complete freedom to fit the solar panels
to the building design, without disproportionately impacting
total system performance. Significantly, it is the only
solution available in the industry to do so which also
enables a practical maintenance schedule."The facade system was developed, designed and installed
by Sustainable Energy's partner A.C.E. Power Electronics
SA, one of Greece's leading power electronics providers.The SUNERGYTM inverter and its parallel system design
offer the only high performance, serviceable system
integration solution to the unique constraints of
architecturally integrated BIPV systems.-- With SUNERGY(TM) inverters, the shading losses are
minimized and layout is completely flexible, allowing architectural
concerns to drive the solar power system design, without disproportionately
impacting system performance.-- Unlike other performance optimizing solutions,
SUNERGY(TM) inverters do not require the electronics to be installed behind
the facade or in the roof canopy, meaning service and maintenance are as
convenient as with any other solar PV system.-- The low operating voltages of the parallel system
architecture ensures the safety of building maintenance personnel, first
responders, and tradesmen who may accidentally come into contact
with wiring integrated into the building's envelope.-- With their wide operating temperature range of
minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 50 degree Celsius, SUNERGY(TM) inverters
can be safely installed outdoors or wherever it is most convenient in any climate.
