WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen^® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), provider of clean energy products which, through patented technology, nearly eliminate criteria pollutants and significantly reduce a customer's carbon footprint, today announced the sale of three InVerde 100 kW units to a multi-family residential building in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, NY. Worth over half a million dollars, the efficient cogeneration equipment will come fitted with Tecogen's patented Ultera® ultra-low emissions technology as well as exclusively licensed CERTs microgrid control software.

John Hatsopoulos, Tecogen's Co-Chief Executive Officer noted, "I'd like to congratulate the sales team on this latest order, they have been doing an excellent job developing projects and turning them into order wins. As we said on our second quarter earnings call a few weeks ago (transcript here), this strong backlog sets us up to deliver what we expect will be compelling results over the next several quarters."

Commenting on the latest project, Tecogen's President and Chief Operating Officer Robert Panora noted, "Because of the InVerde's patented and UL-certified inverter technology, the units are eligible for fast-track permitting, streamlining equipment installation.  With their state-of-the-art CERTs microgrid software, the three units can operate in tandem, seamlessly balancing the facility's demand. Similarly, in case of blackout, the sophisticated cogeneration system can disconnect from the grid completely and operate in island-mode – ensuring building occupants are never left in the dark and offering essential emergency power."  

First launched in 2008, the time-tested installed InVerde fleet has now logged over 2 million hours of run time, demonstrating proven reliability.  Tecogen's  latest upgrade to the InVerde line of efficient combined heat and power units was launched this spring with several new and important features unmatched by competing offerings. Among the most notable new additions, the new InVerde e+ offers improved best-in-class electrical efficiency, seamless DC input integration with battery or renewable power systems, features rapid 10 second blackstart capability (qualifying the equipment as meeting the strict National Fire Protection Association Type 10 standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems), and runs on a standard 4" gas pressure (eliminating the need for costly gas boosters or compression equipment).
