SolarWorld will handle all engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) duties, with financing provided by Solarworld and Sustainable Power Group (sPower).

CRPD has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with SolarWorld and sPower.

“With this project, SolarWorld brings together its high-quality solar technology and top-flight engineering and construction talent with sPower’s financing capacity to help CRPD meets its fiscal and sustainability goals,” said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas.

“The project also highlights a growing trend among US park districts. Long-time stewards of the environment, these organisations understand that solar power can also play a role in financial stewardship,” added Kilkelly.

The installations will feature 270 Watt modules from SolarWorld’s factory in Hillsboro, Oregon.
