Solarmation to Introduce Innovative New Solar Power Module at Solar Power International 2009 in Anaheim, California

Spokane, WA - October 01, 2009 - Solarmation, a provider of best-in-class power modules and DC-out systems for solar energy suppliers, today announced that its innovative new Quasar power module will be showcased at Siemens booth number 3370 at Solar Power International 2009 in Anaheim, California. Solarmation is dedicated to helping solar energy suppliers effectively compete against fossil fuel generation through its advanced power modules and systems.

Quasar is an easily integrated power module that delivers superior performance and unparalleled reliability at the lowest cost per watt. It can be combined with any two-axis tracking system or with a Solarmation supplied tracker to form a complete DC-out system.

The power module features one of the industry’s highest power densities, or power output per unit area. It is designed around nine receivers that are seamlessly interconnected through a solid-state electrical system. Quasar combines an extremely high level of optical concentration with a wide acceptance angle to deliver the highest power per unit area even with less efficient tracking systems.

This highly efficient and cost-effective power module can be easily integrated into any system and will ensure the lowest levelized cost of energy on the market. This is achieved through a unique integration of the optical, thermal, electrical and mechanical systems.

Quasar features include:

  • 1000x concentration
  • Two-degree acceptance angle
  • Maximum energy output per unit area
  • Superior reliability through:
    • Increased thermal management
    • Innovative solid-state electrical interconnect
    • Improved mechanical construct
  • High volume manufacturing design
  • Lowest maintenance requirement and cost
  • 20-year warranty

The Solarmation power module will be showcased along with a tracking system from Inspired Solar Technologies at the Siemens booth. Additional information on the Quasar will be available by request at the booth or by contacting Craig Wood at 509.847.5655 or .
