US-based inverter manufacturer Solectria Renewables has delivered four 266kW SGI 266 smartgrid inverters to BlueChip Energy for what will be the largest PV rooftop installation in Florida. The inverters will power the first 1.5MW stage of the 10MW Rinehart Solar Farm project located in Lake Mary, Florida.

Covering the rooftop and surrounding grounds of the BlueChip Energy campus, including its 318,000 square foot production facility in Lake Mary, Florida, the completed 10MW installation is expected to provide over US$1 million in energy savings annually.
