‘With the introduction of the 100 kW and 500 kW PowerGate Plus inverters in Europe and Asia, along with our 1.2 MW and 2.4 MW PowerGate Fuel Cell inverters, demand for SatCon solutions has surged dramatically,’ says Steve Rhoades, SatCon president and CEO. ‘Pete brings to SatCon years of experience in developing global sales channels and will be instrumental in achieving our goal of becoming the worldwide leader in utility scale distributed energy solutions.’
