OPDE U.S. Corporation announced an agreement to build a 24-megawatts (MW) solar power generation facility using Mecasolar single axis tracking arrays on public land leased from the Sacramento-Yolo Port District.
The facility will incorporate 1,800 Mecasolar trackers manufactured at the company’s new plant in San Francisco. In addition, the project will include 3,598 inverters made by SMA America and 104,348 photovoltaic modules produced by Trina Solar and/or REC (REC.OL).
The project will be located on 160 acres in Yolo County, California. The site is currently used for the storage and drying of dredge material from the port’s deep water channel, and grazing. Both of these uses will continue after development of the solar project. The project equipment and facilities will be owned and maintained by OPDE U.S.
Interconnection applications, site environmental review, and county use permits are underway.
OPDE Group is one of Europe’s industrial leaders, with its origin in Spain. The Group is made up of OPDE (solar plant promotion, development and construction), Mecasolar (design and manufacture of solar trackers), and Proinso (engineering and equipment supply).
