EnergyOne plans to use it’s newly patented Photovoltaic-Capacitive Battery Storage (PCBS) solar panels on Phase 2.
The PCBS panels integrate a thin film solar cell with a thin film ultra-capacitor and a thin film Nickel Zinc storage battery all in a single multi-layered unit.
Each station will generate 3MW of energy per day and have the capability to store the system’s daily output inside the panels that will allow access to solar energy for night time use or on cloudy days.
The solar output, enough to power over 4,500, homes will be sold to various third parties under long term power contracts.
EnergyOne plans to install up to 5MW of Nickel Zinc-battery energy storage systems that can be charged with power from the grid at night and sold back to the utility during peak demand hours.
EnergyOne will own, build, and operate the solar stations.
EnergyOne estimates the cost of the solar stations and energy storage units to be approximately $7.5m.
The company anticipates to commence the construction by fall of 2011.
