Bombard Renewable Energy is the engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) company for the 17.5MW site which spans 80 acres
and utilizes all U.S.-made products including SolarWorld modules
and Solar FlexRack racking. This PV system is unique in that it
involved working closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to
design an innovative system that had the lowest impact on the
endangered Desert Tortoise and its sensitive habitat.
“It was very important for this project to use U.S.-manufactured
products only. Yaskawa – Solectria Solar has been manufacturing
their inverters in the U.S. since 2005 and has vast experience
delivering successful projects. This experience, their strong
balance sheet and responsive service team were extremely important
during our decision-making process. We have the utmost confidence
in the performance of their inverters,” said Bo Balzar, Division
Manager at Bombard Renewable Energy.
“Yaskawa – Solectria Solar is proud to be part of this
innovative PV system that not only uses all U.S.-made products, but
is also built to minimize impact to the endangered tortoises. It
proves that manufacturers, EPC, utilities and public agencies can
work together on projects that influence various facets of
sustainability. Bombard is a great customer and did an excellent
job with this design,” said Allison Duffy, Sr. Key Account Manager
at Yaskawa – Solectria Solar.
VEA has a fixed-rate power purchase agreement (PPA) with Nevada
Valley Solar Solutions, LLC, that will operate the PV system and
sell the energy to the VEA. In turn, the VEA will provide the
cooperative with one of the lowest-priced solar energy rates in the
nation. Over 25 years, the PV system will produce over 817,000,000
kWh of electricity which is equivalent to 14.5 million mature trees
being planted, replacing 1.3 million barrels of oil and removing
1.3 billion cars from the road.
