Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS), today announced
that its Solaron® PV inverters have been installed at a 35-megawatt
(MW) solar project located near Coalinga, California. The project
was awarded to Advanced Energy (AE) by engineering and construction
company Cupertino Electric, Inc. earlier this year to leverage the
Solaron PV inverter’s industry-leading energy-efficiency ratings
and lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

“After considering all of the options, we found AE to be the
best overall choice thanks to their combination of technical
solution and price,” said Meisa Kassis, project manager with
Cupertino Electric, Inc. “Our successful delivery of this project
to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) was made possible by
the contributions of subcontractors and suppliers like AE.”
The 35 MW project consists of two sites owned by PG&E:
Stroud, a 20 MW site, and Westside, a 15 MW site. The two sites are
part of the first phase of a five-year PG&E plan to build 250
MW of solar power. The Stroud and Westside installations include 70
of AE’s 500 kW Solaron® grid-tied PV inverters, which provide low
voltage ride through (LVRT) and reactive power control.
“We are honored to be selected by Cupertino Electric to be a
part of this utility-scale solar power plant,” said Steve Levy, VP
of sales and marketing at AE Solar Energy. “The Central Valley
holds incredible potential as a source of clean energy for
California and this project shows the major strides utilities are
making in accelerating the deployment of renewable energy. By
selecting industry-leading technology that delivers maximum energy
harvest and industry-best LCOE from a bankable partner like AE, our
customers benefit and are a key part of the equation to maximize
return on investment.”
The company’s solar energy business is driving the adoption of
solar by lowering the LCOE for its customers. By providing
reliable, easy-to-install Solaron and PV Powered™ inverters and
SiteGuard® whole-site O&M services, AE enables utility-scale,
