Satcon engaged Commodore to construct this16K sf light manufacturing facility for the production of inverters for solar arrays. The new manufacturing space is located in the Bronstein Center, a hulking warehouse space in South Boston, and a former military facility. The building required new infrastructure and installation of a substantial HVAC system to accommodate the heat generated by Satcon’s equipment testing process.
Working directly with the electrical utility company, new 2000 amp electrical service was brought from the street into the building to serve the space. The build-out includes the construction of four test bays, a heat chamber to simulate extreme weather conditions, new administrative offices and a break room.
The aggressive 10 week schedule successfully met all of Satcon’s equipment production commitments.
