Approximately 1000 companies of the sector met at this international fair, bringing together more than 25.000 people. Ingeteam presented its range of products, which have been homologated as per the UL 1741 standard, and strengthened its presence in the North American solar photovoltaic sector. The minister showed interest in Ingeteam’s current situation and encouraged us to continue working in this market. Wind research Aula (Classroom) at the Public University of Navarra Ingeteam Energy, in collaboration with the Renewable Energy National Centre (CENER for the Spanish Centro Nacional de Energys Renovables), Acciona Energy, Acciona Windpower and Gamesa Eólica have created a renewable energy Aula at the Public University of Navarra (UPNA). The main objective of this Aula is to enable students to perform their graduation project and doctorate thesis. Moreover, with the start-up of this research area, students will have direct contact with the wind technologies developed by the companies involved in this area of business. During the current academic course four students from the UPNA and one from the Mondragon University are currently carrying out their graduation “Alternative Vehicle and fuel show” Valladolid 5-7 November Ingeteam Energy attends, for the first time, the alternative vehicle and fuel trade fair, where it presented SIRVE, the electrical vehicle recharge unit developed by the company. “Mantener” Valladolid, 2-3 December Ingeteam Service attended, as exhibitor, the first trade fair on the operation and maintenance of renewable energy plants.

These works began last year and will continue throughout 2010. R&D+i management certification Ingeteam Service has got the R&D+i management certificate under the UNE 166002 standard. Its purpose is to apply a new methodology to ensure that the R&D+i activities, required to generate new research and projects and optimize resources, are not lost and consequently new technologies explored. - Newsletter Number 13 4 Ingenio 13 Cast_EN:Ingenio 11 Castellano.qxd 03/05/10 15:34 Página 5 Energy Ingeteam participates in the PSE Sigmasoles on photovoltaic concentration Ingeteam is leader in the development of efficiency solar cells, trackers, photovoltaic Sigmasoles inverters and other auxiliary elements, to be Ingeteam Service secured a contract with Iberdola for the maintenance of a park in Mexico Exceptional and Strategic Project (from the installed in photovoltaic concentration plants.
