Government officials from Delaware were on hand with White Oak Solar Energy, a subsidiary of LS Power Group, and SunPower to commission the 10MW Dover SUN Park solar project in Dover, Delaware. SunPower designed and built the 10MW solar park using its tracker systems across the 103-acre site and installed its SunPower E20/327 solar panels.

Solar power generated by the project will be distributed through the local utility distribution system. Organizations such as the City of Dover, Delaware Municipal Electric, Delmarva Power and the Delaware Sustainable Energy  plan to purchase the renewable energy credits related to the Dover SUN Park system.

“The Dover SUN Park helped put people to work and is producing clean energy during the times of day when power use is at its peak,” said Delaware Governor Markell.  “This is good for the City of Dover and it's good for Delaware.  This project really shows what can be accomplished when so many people in the community work together.”
