The 12.5MW solar farm was brought to the airport through the partnering of Indianapolis Airport Authority, module manufacturer General Energy Solutions, non-profit Telamon Corporation, renewables product and service provider Johnson Melloh Solutions, inverter manufacturer Solectrica Renewables and solar project developer Cenergy Power.

The airport project will shave approximately 10,700 tonnes from it’s carbon footprint and will generate 12.5 million kWh a year – enough to power more than 1,200 homes.

Power is being sold to utility Indianapolis Power and Light Company, which supplies energy to 470,000 customers in Indiana.

Andrew Goldin, senior vice president of EPC operations for Cenergy Power said the project has gone so well, it should finish ahead of schedule.

Allison Duffy, regional business development manager for Solectria Renewables said: “It is an honour to not only be chosen for this project but to know that one of our most valued customers sees Solectria as its ‘go-to’ partner”.

Shade modelling for utility-scale PV plants: Why it matters and what you should do about it

19 August 2021

The utility-scale PV market is poised for exponential growth and yet the industry still has many fundamental opportunities to improve on standards and best practice. Tracker shade loss has been one of those topics that deserve more attention, but has been typically handled by derate factors rather than trying to accurately forecast the loss over the life of the system. Join Nextracker’s subject matter experts, Aron Dobos and Neelesh Umachandran, and Rounak Kharait, director of solar energy assessments at DNV, for a webinar about why shade modeling matters and recommendations on what the solar industry should do about it.

PV CellTech

25 August 2021

Join us to hear directly from the CTOs and heads-of-research from the top-20 cell/wafer producers to the PV industry today. The event will focus on predicting the key metrics underpinning the next big shift to n-type with answers to the key questions: When will the transition to n-type happen? Which companies will be first to 10 GW capacity and production? Who will be the key equipment suppliers for the new production lines? Which n-type process flow/architecture will emerge as the front-runner? What will polysilicon purity and wafer thickness levels look like for optimized n-type manufacturing? What will the upstream poly/wafer supply-chain look like in 5 years from now?
