Santerno Solar Inverters Deliver Proven Performance at Solar Systems’ Mildura Solar Power Station in Australia

Leave a comment

Contract with Solar Systems Demonstrates that Santerno Inverters Designed for Optimal CPV Performance in Harsh Conditions Such as Arid Australian Outback.

IMOLA, Italy (July 25, 2013) — Santerno, the Carraro Group company that specializes in alternative energy electronics and industrial automation, today announced the completion of installation of its concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) power inverters in the first phase of the Mildura Solar Power Station Project in Australia. The power station, located in Victoria, was constructed by Solar Systems, wholly owned subsidiary of Silex Systems Limited, and is to be one of the largest solar power stations in Australia.

By standardizing on the Santerno solar inverters, Solar Systems ensures that the Mildura Solar Power Station remains in compliance with Australian construction codes for solar systems. Santerno’s solar components are being provided by NHP Electrical Engineering Products, which has been supplying sales and service of Santerno solar technology in Australia and New Zealand since 2003.

Unlike most solar power installations, Solar Systems uses a unique design that concentrates solar power using a parabolic mirror that focuses the sun’s energy onto a focal point where a small area of high-efficiency PV cells then converts the solar rays into electrical power. These curved reflecting mirrors are mounted on tracking systems that follow the sun to deliver concentrated CPV energy throughout the day. Stage one of the Mildura Power Station project is a 1.5 MW demonstration solar array; enough clean energy to power 500 homes.

“Solar Systems’ innovative tracking dish design is one of the most efficient PV designs we have seen, and it’s installed in some of the harshest climates on the planet,” said Marco Tecchio, Chief Executive Officer of Santerno. “The successful completion of this project demonstrates the resilience of our solar inverters and their suitability for use in even the most challenging environments. We anticipate that, with the aid of partners such as Solar Systems, we will be able to continue to expand into global markets, including Australia.”

Santerno is aggressively expanding into new global markets with new contracts signed recently in South Africa and the United States.

Author Shows How Greek Gods and Goddesses Misbehaved

Leave a comment

The strange and often quite ungodly behavior of the legendary Greek Gods and Goddesses continues to fascinate the modern mind, and is currently chronicled in a just-published Kindle book

Moreno Valley, CA, July 25, 2013 – The strange and often quite ungodly behavior of the legendary Greek Gods and Goddesses continues to fascinate the modern mind, and is currently chronicled in a just-published Kindle book featured at http://www.amazon.com/Greek-Gods-Goddesses-Gone-ebook/dp/B00DG9E7XS/. Its authors, Michael Rank and Alexander Murray, cite many familiar ribald stories concerning the antics attributed to Zeus and his brethren, which contribute to the “gods gone wild” theme of the book title. The promotional site page on Amazon summarizes the book content and the content to show how the ancient Greeks related to the gods despite their known fickle or capricious behavior.

Many cultural observers, writers and anthropologists believe – like the authors – that the influence and persistence of the ancient Greek myths are still relevant, as they see many parallels with modern thought and other major faiths. Actor Casey William Walker, for example, sees a tie-in with the story where “Zeus bound (the Titan Prometheus) in chains for 1000 years and was caused inexplicable torture and pain when an eagle would devour his liver every day after it grew back from the day previous. But later his story evolved into one of heroism because he was seen as mankind’s advocate, whereas the other Gods seemed selfish and looked upon man with little regard.” This makes a tie-in to other religions.

Many episodes in the Kindle book also well on the tawdry side of the gods, particularly in regards to sex. The philandering Zeus and other Greek gods and goddesses are shown to connect with the flaws of mortal humans, in a manner that most modern readers will find almost soap opera-like compelling. One web writer notes “The gods of ancient Greece were stories told to the masses – as are most gods. What’s the point of telling a story if nobody’s going to listen to it? They were projections of ourselves onto a universal scale. All gods ever described throughout history can be shown to have such petty, impulsive aspects to them that show beyond a doubt that they came from something human.”

The re-popularization of the antics of Greek gods and goddesses at http://www.amazon.com/Greek-Gods-Goddesses-Gone-ebook/dp/B00DG9E7XS/ is expected to reinforce the ongoing appeal of the ancient stories (i.e., what else explains the recent ‘Wrath of the Titans’ epic movies, and the BBC development of a new TV series based on Greek myths?). The Kindle book is expected to be available for sale for the foreseeable future, and has been so far well received by Amazon reviewers.
