Satcon Technology’s Solstice will be used in the 63MW CIRO One solar PV plant being built in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The project will use 126 Satcon Solstice 500kW applications, at its 180 acre site in the Lapas District of Salinas, producing approximately 116 million kW hours of energy per year. Construction on the project is to begin this month.
“The CIRO One Solar PV plant installation is one of the largest and most advanced in the world,” said Ruben Perez, president of the CIRO Group of San Juan. “The project presented us with significant challenges that required us to leverage the most advanced technologies available. The size of the installation combined with the uneven terrain at various elevations presented us with system design constraints, necessitating the flexibility that Satcon Solstice delivers. Satcon has provided us with the technologies and system-wide expertise that has helped us to make renewable energy resources a significant component of the Puerto Rican electricity grid, helping us to achieve a higher degree of energy independence and alleviating the Commonwealth’s dependence on crude oil.”
