First Solar provided approximately 4,000 of its advanced thin-film solar panels as well as engineering, procurement and construction services for the system.
Power-One provided an Aurora PVI-Central-250kW inverter manufactured in nearby Phoenix and the associated performance-monitoring equipment for the project, and Klondyke Construction provided electrical construction services.
The ground-mounted First Solar PV system is expected to generate around 500MWh per year of emission-free electricity with no water or waste, displacing more than 300 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
