EPC firm, Swinerton Renewable Energy has selected Array Technologies ‘DuraTrack’ HZ single-axis tracker system for a 40MW of Duke Energy Renewables owned PV power plants being built in Bakersfield, California.
The Pumpjack and Wildwood PV solar projects (20MW each) will deploy a version of the single-axis tracker with a 120° range of motion, compared to Array Technologies standard 90° system, expected to provide higher overall yields.
Array Technologies said that design and procurement activities were already underway with both plants expected to be operational before the end of the year.
Southern California Edison (SCE) is the customer under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
