The TA Acacia Project, a 28.4MWdc plant in Lancaster, California developed by Canadian Solar was supplied with SG800MX PV inverters from Sungrow USA Corp, the US subsidiary of China’s largest PV inverter company, Sungrow Power Supply Co.
Sungrow supplied 25 SG800MX inverters, which were integrated into 1.6MW Integrated Power Stations (IPS) to convert and connect the 94,340 Canadian Solar PV modules to the power grid. Construction of the 28.4MWdc project took place from July to November 2014.
“The 28.4MWdc TA Acacia project is a milestone for Sungrow in the US and we are pleased to be part of it,” said Renxian Cao, chairman of Sungrow Power Supply Co. “Sungrow keeps expanding its service infrastructure and installation base in US. We are committed to supporting Canadian Solar and other customers from coast to coast in the United States.”
Canadian Solar developed the project, and White Construction provided engineering, procurement, and construction services (EPC). The 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with PG&E was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, and the system was recently sold to Dominion Virginia Power.
The total system output is expected to power more than 6,100 homes and offset a total of 31,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
