This extensive 20MW solar farm project presented
unique challenges for our electrical and civil engineering teams due to the site’s rolling terrain and subtropical climate. By utilizing alternative engineering design software, Blue Oak Energy was able to achieve an accurate energy model that simulated energy production based on the varying degrees of solar array slope.
From 2010-2012, 90MW was successfully deployed on 25 commercial solar rooftops in southern California. Part of the initiative includes the largest single solar PV rooftop in 2011 in the U.S., with a DC nameplate rating of 8.55 MW on a 1.3M square foot building.
The First Solar Mesa project is the largest rooftop installation in the state of Arizona with 18 acres of rooftop solar panels. The 4 MW photovoltaic (PV) system feeds power to First Solar’s Manufacturing Facility and exports excess generation to the local electric utility, Salt River Project (SRP).
