Xantrex mentioned that the order is for a combination of the 100kW-Xantrex GT100 and the 250kW-GT250 three phase solar inverters which will be installed at several commercial facilities. The shipments will take place over the first and second quarter of 2008.

The GT100 and GT250 commercial grid-tie solar inverters were introduced to the market in the second half of 2007. Xantrex said that these inverters convert direct current (DC) power from solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity for delivery to the grid.

Mossadiq Umedaly, Xantrex’s chairman, said: We are pleased with the size of this order for our new three phase solar inverters from one of our leading customers.
