The SolarWorld-built Adelanto Solar Power Plant features SolarWorld’s American-made solar panels and proprietary racking and has been designed to harvest the solar energy advantages of clean, renewable power for homes and businesses in Los Angeles.
The Sunfix Ground Mount racking of the new power plant is expected to generate 515,700 MWh of electricity and replacing 290,000 metric tons of CO2 over its 25-year life.
"The Adelanto project marks an important milestone in the transition of LADWP’s power supply from coal power to more renewable sources of energy."
LADWP general manager Ronald O. Nichols said: "The selection of SolarWorld, a company that designs and manufacturers complete solar systems in America according to the highest quality, safety and environmental standards, gives us the confidence to know that this system will reliably serve our ratepayers for decades into the future."
Additional features of the Adelanto project include inverters, connectors, surge arresters, transformers, combiner boxes and switch board.
