Under the agreement, OPEL will build and operate the Aquarion solar facility, which will use both the TF-800 single-axis tracker and the SF-45 dual-axis tracker, which follow the path of the sun during the day to produce more energy.
The power project will be used to offset the energy required to operate the Aquarion facility.
The facility is anticipated to produce approximately 43MWh of energy annually, which is approximately 22% more when compared to the same panels in a fixed installation.
Aquarion President and CEO Charles V. Firlotte said the company has been working on a series of measures to reduce its carbon footprint emitted due to our operations.
The site will provide a demonstration site to Aquarion to confirm the effectiveness of implementing this type of system at other sites.
"By using OPEL Solar’s advanced tracker technology, we will be able to generate much more energy than we could have expected from fixed technologies," Firlotte stated.
