Solar IV, the first solar plant in Vineland, New Jersey, has been completed and begun commercial operation. Vineland Solar IV, developed on 38 acres in Delsea Drive by OCI Solar Power, contains more than 13,000 PV modules and the project generates a total of 3MW. The energy is sold to the Vineland Municipal Electric Utility and will power local homes and businesses.

Vineland Solar IV is one of two OCI Solar projects in the area and the second project, Elmer Road, is anticipated to begin construction in the summer.

Nick Bullinger, chief operating officer for OCI Solar, commented on the project: “The completion of the Vineland Solar IV facility is another big step toward creating a more sustainable and green future for the Vineland community. It is the first of two projects for OCI Solar in Vineland and we are grateful for the community’s partnership and support. The second project on Elmer Road is expected to begin construction in early summer 2012.”

Publications

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.
