Nautilus Solar Energy, a solar power producer headquartered in New Jersey, US, has started commercial operation of its 1.9MW rooftop PV system in Chino, California, US. Output generated by the system is being sold to Southern California Edison as part of a power purchase agreement.

"We are pleased to bring on line another solar project in the State of California and help move the state closer to its Renewable Portfolio Standard goals," said James Rice, CEO of Nautilus Solar. "Nautilus Solar continues to be active in the California market and we are expanding our presence through a combination of greenfield development and project acquisitions."

California is one of the most active states in the US in terms of solar activity. Recently, the US government announced plans to accelerate the approval of the 150MW Desert Harvest and NextEra Energy’s 750MW McCoy solar projects in California. At the start of the month, First Solar also announced plans to build a 139MW thin-film PV solar project in the state.

  • 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.
