Kapaa Solar has financed the system and negotiated a power purchased agreement with KIUC.
REC Solar designed, procured and managed the installation of the ground mounted photovoltaic system, which was sighted on five acres of non-productive agricultural land located above old Kapaa Town on the windward side of Kauai.
The solar power plant was designed with four 250kW Advanced Energy Solaron Inverters and is powered by 5,376 units of the REC Group 225W Peak Energy-Series module.
REC Solar utilized its proprietary SnapNrack fixed-tilt racking that boasts extremely thick galvanization to combat the island environment’s corrosive components.
Pending final approval from the Public Utility Commission, the system will produce an estimated 1.8MWh of energy annually.
