GreenVolts announced that it had commissioned its latest system, a 464kW solar plant in Pleasant Grove, California. Installed at Van Dyke’s Rice Dryer, the installation was built across a four-acre L-shaped portion of land and was completed on schedule with minimal impact to the ongoing operations of the dryer.

“The California rice industry contributes $1.8B annually and 25,000 jobs to the state’s economy, and to remain competitive, it is critical to control costs,” said David Gudmundson, president and CEO of GreenVolts. “Van Dyke’s solar strategy is a showcase example of controlling costs and a benchmark for the state’s rice industry to successfully compete in the global market.”

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
