This 36MW ground mount utility-scale solar farm was developed across 3 distinct parcels. Approximately 28MW is located on the largest parcel while nearly 8 MW is located on the two combined smaller parcels. This interesting project utilized two DC voltages in the solar array and utilized a variety of equipment across the site to meet the customer’s economic goals.
Blue Oak Energy provided full civil, structural, and electrical engineering for this project. The engineering team at Blue Oak was also instrumental in securing the grading and construction permits quickly during a compressed construction schedule. Our team also worked diligently with CAISO to permit the interconnection and system startup on time with a reduced monitoring system in place because of special considerations allowed for adjacent sites. During the construction phase Blue Oak promptly implemented significant equipment changes to support the project’s ongoing evolution.
