The installation has been powered by UNI-SOLAR lightweight, flexible solar panels that are bonded to a thermoplastic polyolefin geomembrane manufactured by Carlisle Energy Services, a United Solar channel partner.
The integrated system consisting of nearly 7,000 UNI-SOLAR PVL-144 modules over ten-acres of landfill cover is a complete geomembrane cap closure system.
Located on a closed waste landfill in Conley, which is owned and maintained by Republic Services, the facility is expected to provide a carbon offset of 1,374 metric tons per year.
In addition, the annual energy generation is enough to supply over 200 households with electricity each year.
United Solar, a subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices, is a manufacturer of light-weight, flexible thin-film solar modules.
