Four solar projects using a direct-to-ground mounting system were completed in California. The arrays are Earth Mount Solar systems from Erthos, which don’t use metal mounting constructions, similar to trackers, and are as a substitute constructed by putting photo voltaic modules immediately on the bottom.
With out racking panel rows, Erthos initiatives scale back the whole system footprint and declare to extend complete array output. The initiatives totaling 2.2 MW had been constructed by OneSun Energy, developed by White Pine Renewables and purchased by Directional providers.
“Erthos know-how is actually a step ahead in photo voltaic know-how innovation. By executing on the Olam Meals portfolio, Erthos has demonstrated a capability to show initiatives that might not have labored with a traditional racking answer into viable property utilizing its progressive know-how. White Pine has been proud to companion with Erthos over the previous two years to make sure that we ship for our prospects – even in probably the most difficult circumstances,” mentioned Michael Kremer, managing companion and co-founder at White Pine Renewables.
Power from the vegetation will likely be bought below energy buy agreements by Teapot Dome Water District and Olam Meals Substances. Erthos expects to have over 40 MW of further initiatives below contract by the tip of the.
“This marks one other stage in our speedy market adoption,” mentioned Jim Tyler, CEO of Erthos. “As with our first deployment a 12 months in the past, with these new initiatives on-line, we’re seeing speedy and continued validation of our plant efficiency. Power manufacturing, thermal efficiency, and the efficacy of the ErthBot cleansing robotic are all supported by the information coming in from these vegetation.”
