Erthos Inc., an power expertise firm centered on utility-scale photo voltaic, has begun business operations for 4 extra Earth Mount Photo voltaic PV initiatives in California. Developed by White Pine Renewables, the initiatives have been acquired by Directional Companies Inc. and constructed by OneSun Energy Inc. Vitality from the crops shall be bought below energy buy agreements by Teapot Dome Water District and Olam Meals Components.
Earth Mount Solar energy crops are constructed with out metal mounting techniques, similar to trackers, and are as an alternative constructed by putting photo voltaic modules immediately on the earth. With this technique of set up, Erthos crops produce greater than twice as a lot power on the identical space of land at a considerably lowered value per unit of power.
“Erthos expertise is really a step ahead in photo voltaic expertise innovation,” says Michael Kremer, managing companion and co-founder at White Pine Renewables. “By executing on the Olam Meals portfolio, Erthos has demonstrated a capability to show initiatives that might not have labored with a standard racking answer into viable property utilizing its modern expertise.
