PV Powered commercial inverters will power multiple big box stores in New Jersey.
PV Powered, Inc., an Advanced Energy company, announces that its commercial inverters have been selected by Trinity Solar, Inc., one of the leading solar electric system integrators in North America, to power a large shopping center project in Stafford Park, New Jersey. The project is being developed by the Walters Group of Barnegat, New Jersey, and will provide power for three large retail stores.Stafford Park is an exciting and imaginative new mixed-use redevelopment project being constructed on the site of a former landfill in the New Jersey Pinelands. Featuring a village-center theme, the development will integrate over 600 housing units, 25,000 square feet of office space, and 650,000 square feet of retail and recreation space.
“We looked for an inverter supplier who was able to commit to providing high reliability products at an attractive price,” said Ed Merrick, Trinity’s Business Development Manager. “PV Powered met our needs and has proved to be extremely flexible and easy to work with.”
The 429 kW Stafford Park shopping center project uses a mix of PV Powered’s 75kW and 100kW inverters. The installation took place without disrupting the stores’ business.
“With field-proven reliability and uptime, our commercial inverters contribute significantly to the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy), on commercial PV installations like this,” said Erick Petersen, PV Powered’s vice president of marketing and sales. “With a track record of leading the industry with on time delivery and lead times, PV Powered is poised to support the rapidly growing PV market in 2010.”
