[July 15, 2011] Siemens Industry to supply solar technology for Idaho solar field project Tweet Jul 15, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Siemens Industry, Inc. has received a multi-million dollar order from Interconnect Solar Development, LLC, to supply solar technology for the 20MW Murphy Flats solar field located in Idaho, US. The solar technology, which will be manufactured at Siemens West Chicago plant, will include inverters, transformers and containers, and will feature a major technology advantage by using 1000VDC inverters along with 1000VDC panels for maximum energy harvesting. "The Siemens team demonstrated a true understanding of our project objectives, and the team made a significant investment of their time and expertise to bring additional solar power to electricity customers in Idaho," says Bill Piske, founder of Interconnect Solar Development, LLC. "Siemens Answers for Industry event first allowed our team the opportunity to learn about the integrated solutions provided by Siemens, as well as the company's PV project experience." The Siemens solar solution will include Siemens Sinvert photovoltaic (PV) inverter technology in a multi-unit cluster design. Siemens Sinvert PVS solar inverters are integrated within environmentally controlled and air-cooled containers to ensure that output demands are delivered for the expected 20-year lifespan of the PV solar power plant. The design also provides one of the lowest Levelized Cost of Electricity. The Murphy Flats project will also feature Siemens PV-WinCC SCADA software, offering high-level monitoring, integration of processes and automatic, on-site or remote monitoring for complete communication, control and visualization the solar power system. "We are proud that Interconnect Solar chose Siemens to be its partner for the Murphy Flats project," says Richard Myers, director of solar vertical market management for Siemens. "Additionally, our service and support will ensure uptime and plant efficiency throughout the project lifecycle by providing a 20-year customer service agreement." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
