ESA Renewables’ 20 MW Solar Project Receives Approval from a Utility Firm

By Dr. Cameron ChaiMar 27 2012

A provider of turnkey solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, ESA Renewables has secured an approval on a feasibility study from a local utility company for a 20 MW solar farm in Claysville, Pennsylvania.

The aim of the study is to establish a plan and estimate the up-front costs for connecting the photovoltaic generating facility to the utility network at the customer-specified location.

Jeffrey Burkett, President of the company, noted that the study results have been positive and have revealed the required upgrades to be made on the project and also the presumption that the project will not have any environmental impact. Burkett also added that the solar power project will produce clean energy for a large number of homes. The ground-mount solar PV plant will operate for 20 years on a site in Washington County. The facility is segmented into 20 units and each one is connected with a 1 MVA step up transformer.

ESA Renewables has decided to build, commission, manage, operate and maintain the 20 MW solar PV generation facility throughout the system’s lifetime. The company’s system managers will have instant access to real-time data that are generated from the solar array by using ESA Renewables’ proprietary control and monitoring system though a safe connection. In addition, they can collect and store performance data for future analysis, testing, simulations and other processes. The data will be used for efficient preventive and corrective measures.
