SunPower to Deliver 11.4 MW Solar Power System for Santa Clara
San Jose, USA - SunPower Corp. announced that construction has started on 11.4 megawatts (DC) of solar power systems to power public facilities operated by the County of Santa Clara in California.
To fund the project, the County of Santa Clara secured U.S. Department of Treasury clean renewable energy bonds (CREBs), which are available to certain entities, primarily in the public sector, to finance renewable energy projects. California's net energy metering (NEM) and RES-BCT programs also helped make ownership of on-site solar power systems accessible for the county.
According to the company, at five of the county sites, SunPower is installing ground-mounted solar power systems featuring SunPower solar panels. The sixth installation will be a solar carport that generates emission-free solar power while providing needed shade. SunPower has approximately 45 megawatts of large commercial and public agency solar power systems operating or under contract in Santa Clara County.
