US project developer Lincoln Renewable Energy (LRE) is equipping its New Jersey Oak Solar project with Solar Power Technologies’ (SPT) monitoring and management systems.

When completed later this year, the 10MW system in Fairfield Township, Cumberland will be one of the largest non-utility-owned solar projects on the East Coast, and SPT’s Clarity monitoring and optimization system and Intelligent Array management tools will be overseeing its performance. Powering the 100-acre site will be 55,000 panels, which will be connected to Atlantic City Electric's distribution system.

"At LRE, our philosophy is to bring the very best technology to bear in building and operating our sites," said Declan Flanagan, Lincoln Renewable Energy’s CEO. "We are keen to explore the benefits of establishing intelligent site management processes with the Clarity system, and believe this will play a part in LRE maintaining its leadership edge."

"Our Clarity system provides the flexibility and scalability that will enable an unprecedented level of insight and control in the Oak Solar project, providing actionable O&M information based on user defined business rules without the unmanageable data overload associated with traditional string monitoring on this scale," added Ray Burgess, CEO of Solar Power Technologies.

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
