Conergy the United States for the installation of the irrigation area thin-film solar tracking system

Denver United States of Conergy solar energy experts and companies in Southern California, Queensland state irrigation district saint (SSJID) installed is considered the world's first large-scale uniaxial thin film solar tracking system. The 419 kilowatts of power system was put into use at the end of March this year. This is a total power of 1.6 megawatts of solar energy solutions for the second phase, the program for the irrigation district an annual saving of nearly 40 million in operating costs, access to the state of millions in cash incentives, and stability in the whole range of California with the water crisis in the consumer price.

SSJID utility systems director Don Battles said: "The main objective of this project is to stabilize electricity prices, especially taking into account the peak in the summer when prices were soaring, the case may be." In addition the project will save 400,000 a year the cost of electricity, the solar system has provided the region against rising utility costs may be. Moreover, he added, the project will be incorporated into the state grid made, means that the region could be the sale of surplus to the local utility, the peak hours of energy (a precious commodity).

In addition, the solar tracking system SSJID also provide useful ReturnOn Solar Investment. The first phase will be marked by the 6720-watt crystalline silicon Conergy175 templates installed in the single-axis solar tracking system. These tracking systems and fixed systems of similar size compared to the peak periods can be increased by 15% of the power supply, and its principle is based on the track of the sun continuously adjust the angle of solar template. This project-based tracking technology in military software to optimize the capacity of its solar tracking.

The name "Robert O. Schulz Solar Farm" project on the following issues will also provide a unique cost - benefit analysis, that is, in a series of climatic conditions, solar energy solutions: the crystallization of silicon thin-film template templates and how much difference in performance . Conergy American West Project Director David Vincent said the choice of the second phase of the tracking system through market-tested First Solar thin-film solar panels, because they are than traditional crystalline silicon solar panels at lower costs-per-watt. Vincent said: "thin-film battery is a more effective method of power generation - and it was misty or cloudy weather conditions produce dust, high concentrations of air suspensions in the industrial environment a better performance than silicon."
