The project’s energy production will provide renewable power generation for approximately 6,000 typical California homes.
OPDE U.S. Corporation and the Sacramento-Yolo Port District entered into an agreement on September 2nd to facilitate OPDE U.S. in developing a 24 Megawatt (MW) solar power generation facility using MECASOLAR single axis tracking arrays manufactured in the U.S.. The project will be located on 160 acres in Yolo County, California. OPDE U.S. is excited to have the opportunity to work with the staff of the City of West Sacramento and the port, who have shown a very progressive and entrepreneurial spirit in considering the merits of this project.
The Project will be built on public land leased from the Sacramento-Yolo Port District, a public entity of the State of California formed under the River Port District Act. The port commission authorized city/port staff to continue negotiations with OPDE U.S. during a regularly scheduled board meeting. Interconnection applications, site environmental review, and county use permits are underway.
The facility will incorporate 1,800 MECASOLAR MS-1E TRACKER 10 seasonal one axis azimuth trackers. In addition to the MECASOLAR trackers, the project will include 3,598 SMA America 6000 US Inverters with a 97 percent efficiency and 104,348 high efficiency 230 Wp Photovoltaic (PV) Modules produced by Trina solar and/or REC.
