CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2004--SatCon Technology Corporation® (Nasdaq NM: SATC - News), a manufacturer of electronic power control systems, today announced that its PowerGate AE-PV 50kW photovoltaic Power Conversion System (PCS) has been UL-1741 certified. The unit has also been submitted for approval to the California Energy Commission (CEC) for use on California sponsored projects. The Company has a 100kW PCS which as already been UL-1741 certified and approved by the CEC.

The converters are designed for use with light industrial and commercial solar power systems to generate electrical power in office buildings, small factories, hotels and similar facilities.

SatCon's PCS converts DC electricity from photovoltaic cells into usable AC electricity. Clean Energy Trends 2003 estimates that the photovoltaic market will grow from a $3.5 billion global industry in 2002 to more than $27.5 billion by 2012.

United Solar Ovonics (Uni-Solar), a leading manufacturer of thin film photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and provider of commercial PV roof system solutions, has agreed to use SatCon as its preferred supplier for 50kW and 100kW PCS's for commercial PV systems worldwide.

"We're seeing an emerging market interest in our PV inverter products," concluded Eisenhaure. "Several PV system integrators and distributors in addition to Uni-Solar have contacted us regarding the product and over 20 systems have already been quoted at a price of $15,000 - $100,000 each."
