VANCOUVER, B.C., November 18, 2008 - Xantrex Technology Inc., a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, supplied 10 three-phase 225 kilowatt (kW) inverters for the new solar installation at Denver International Airport (DIA) in Colorado.

The two megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) system is the second largest solar power system at an airport in North America. The installation utilizes more than 9,200 solar panels and it covers seven-and-a-half acres at the entrance to Denver International Airport. The system will generate more than three million kilowatt hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually, which will reduce carbon emissions by more than 6.3 million pounds each year. The installation is one of the most visible solar systems in the United States, as nearly 50 million passengers visit DIA annually.

The solar energy system was designed and installed by WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. (WorldWater). The Xantrex inverters used for the project were selected by WorldWater as part of an ongoing partnership with Xantrex. The Xantrex units convert the direct current (DC) energy collected by the solar panels into high-quality alternating current (AC) power for use at the airport.

"We are proud to be involved in another large solar installation at a North American airport with WorldWater," says Xantrex General Manager Nazir Mulji. "The reliability and high efficiency of Xantrex inverters make them well-suited for these types of large commercial applications."

Dr. Frank Smith, CEO of WorldWater, added, "A major transportation hub like Denver International Airport has complex power demands. Our expertise in design and installation, coupled with high quality products like Xantrex inverters, enable us to tackle these projects and make commercial solar systems sustainable options for large-scale operations."
