Generación de Energias Alternativa S.L., Alicante, Spain

Xantrex inverters were chosen by solar energy company Generación de Energias Alternativa for a 360 kilowatt (kW) ground solar array installation in sunny Crevillente, Alicante, Spain. The system includes three Xantrex GT100E grid tie solar inverters and additional Xantrex products and accessories. The photovoltaic modules are from the leading Spanish manufacturer Siliken S.L., which cooperated with Generación de Energias Alternativas in the project plan and design of this installation.

The Xantrex GT100E is designed to be easy to install and operate, and it incorporates advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology to maximize the energy harvested from a PV array. To reduce power losses during the conversion process, the GT100E’s state-of-the-art switching technology uses insulated gate bi-polar transistors (IGBT). Designed specifically for the European market, the GT100E meets all applicable CE standards, is approved by TÜV Rheinland, and fulfils the Spanish Royal Decree 1663/2000.

Xantrex is a premier supplier of inverters that is active in the Spanish solar market, with more than 10 MW sold in Spain. Solar power is an attractive investment in Spain, as the Spanish feed-in tariff is 0.42 cents (Euro)/kWp, which is significantly higher than the price of electricity from conventional sources, so the expected payback period for this installation is less than 10 years.

Generación de Energias Alternativas S.L. is a renewable company formed by a group of companies. The main investor is Cooperativa Electrica de San Francisco de Asis de Crevillent, an electrical distributor in Spain. It focuses on large PV installations close to Crevillente, Alicante. Generación de Energias Alternativas invests in renewable energy projects focusing on environmental responsibility in the Spanish territory, and this installation aligns with the company’s mandate.
