Siemens SINVERT Inverters
part of project awarded "Solar Project of the Year"
 Ninety-six Siemens Sinvert 550M inverters are part of Sempra Generation's award-winning Copper Mountain Solar
project.
 Sempra Generation’s Copper Mountain Solar project, currently the largest photovoltaic solar plant in the U.S., has
been awarded “Solar Project of the Year” by Renewable Energy World as part of the 2011 Excellence in Renewable Energy
Awards.
 Announced in early March 2011 at the Renewable Energy World Conference and Expo in Tampa, Fla. Copper Mountain
Solar was selected out of hundreds of nominations in the category.
 The 48-megawatt (MW) solar installation, located in Boulder City, Nev., about 40 miles southeast of Las Vegas, was
completed in late 2010 and includes 96 of Siemens SINVERT 550kw Inverters, and now generates enough renewable
electricity to power about 14,000 average homes. This project is part of more than 110MW of Siemens inverters that have
been installed in the U.S. in the last 2 years.
