Santerno has been awarded with a supply contract for 155 MW of Santerno skid
inverter stations to be installed in an Imperial Valley, California solar
plant.

Francisco.

globalization plans for the Solar Farm market segment," says Marco Tecchio, CEO

successful completion of the 124 MW Ravenna (Italy) project end of 2011,
Santerno's supply contract announcement for the 81 MW Kathu project in South
Africa (South Africa's very first solar farm) in May 2012, and Santerno's
commissioning in Europe, and lately, in China and India of over 2.5 GW of solar
inverters, the large majority of which were deployed in Solar Farm
