Western Wind and Lord Electric will deploy twenty 1.5MW Equinox Prism Platforms to power the second largest PV plant in Puerto Rico.
Equinox Prism Platform is a turnkey utility-grade multi-megawatt solution, complete with factory-integrated step-up transformers, MV disconnect switches, and power conversion electronics.
The factory integrated solution leverages Satcon’s next-generation Equinox PV inverters with 98.5 percent peak efficiency, reportedly delivering the highest levels of performance and low installation costs enabling the industry’s lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE)....

CNPV Solar signs multi-phase collaborative PV plants deal in China
The scope of the co-operation allows for up to 2.5GW of installations to proceed around the Bohai Rim within the next 5 years, and is initiated with commitment of 100MWp installed in three stages of 30MWp, 30MWp and 40MWp sequentially.
Utilizing the resources of the three organizations, solar PV installations will be introduced within Shandong province (PRC) on land unfit for other purposes due to high salinity and alkalinity. The high levels of irradiance complete with the high power output of the CNPV systems, the detailed project design and installation management skills, and the collaborative benefits of the organizations working together, ensure that a profitable return can be achieved while implementing a program of beneficial land use, and the provision of clean power for the local residents, said CNPV.
With an ever increasing focus to deliver more for less, this collective agreement is demonstrating the capability of those involved to deploy their skills and services to fully unlock the value that is possible...

Ball Aerospace submits solar electric propulsion concept to NASA
Ball Aerospace was one of five companies awarded up to $600,000 by NASA in September 2011, to formulate a mission concept to demonstrate the solar electric propulsion technologies, capabilities, and infrastructure required for sustainable and affordable human presence in space.
NASA will use the studies to plan and implement a future flight demonstration mission to test and validate those science technologies and capabilities.
The current study focused on developing concepts that will be using technology at NASA Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 or greater. Ball's mission concept supports NASA's goal to elevate SEP technologies in order to create more efficient and powerful solar-powered flight systems....Ball Aerospace submits solar electric propulsion concept to NASA

Quanta, ETT expand CREZ transmission line construction agreement
Under the expanded master agreement, Quanta has the exclusive right initially to negotiate the construction of the entire 460 miles of new 345-kV transmission line projects in west Texas. Quanta previously had initial bidding rights to approximately 250 miles of the projects.
Quanta also has been awarded two Individual Project Authorizations (IPAs) under the master agreement for the construction of approximately 155 miles of ETT's CREZ projects. All of ETT's CREZ projects are planned to be complete by the end of 2013.
"Quanta has the expertise and quality resources to complete these projects on time and on budget, making our decision to provide the Quanta team the opportunity to construct all of ETT's CREZ lines a strategic and logical choice," said Calvin Crowder, president of ETT
