ESA to Build 1 MW Solar PV System in Kropson, North Carolina

ESA Renewables will build a 1MW solar photovoltaic system in the city of Culberson, NC, about 322 kilometers (about 200 miles) southwest of Charlotte, NC. The electricity produced by this system will be acquired by the Tennessee Valley Authority through a 10-year PPA. globepv.COM

ESA will provide a complete, one-stop solution that includes design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, testing, and operation and maintenance services. The solar array will consist of approximately 4,166 solar panels, with an estimated annual generating capacity of 1,302,000 kWh. The system is planned to start commercial operation in November 2010 and will occupy an area of ​​64,750 square meters (approximately 16 acres). Once officially put into use, this project will be one of the largest solar PV installations in North Carolina.

"We are promoting the realization of the current renewable energy goals and look forward to including these projects in the ongoing green energy series under the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)." Jeffrey Burke, Chairman, ESA Renewables According to Jeffrey Burkett, “In a global portfolio, we have several megawatts of solar energy projects, and these projects are the next step in the development of public-scale renewable energy projects. In addition, these projects also prove that we It has been conducting operations in North Carolina and across the United States on solar energy development and sales."
