最近,马萨诸塞州宣布推出太阳能电池阵列项目,未来绿色经济受益匪浅。
美国国家电网宣布将在马萨诸塞州率先完成太阳能电池阵列,出货量将高达50MW。
该项目还能够为马萨诸塞州创造约50个绿色就业机会,有利于该地区经济发展。国家电网称,该项目所用太阳能光伏板均由马萨诸塞州的太阳能制造商Evergreen Solar提供,其他部分材料及设备安装也都由当地公司提供。
光伏阵列位于怀廷斯维尔镇,将包含4683太阳能电池板,每一个会产生210瓦电力。该装置将设在国家电网新英格兰配送中心的屋顶。
“这样的项目要求有尖端技术知识的人才。缺少许多来自不同地方的太阳能专家,该工作将很有挑战性,”国家电网 Ed White如是说。
A newly unveiled solar array in Massachusetts is offering a glimpse of the potential benefits an increasingly green economy may deliver in the coming years.
National Grid announced the completion of the first utility-owned solar array in Massachusetts, which passed a law two years ago allowing utilities to generate as much as 50 megawatts of solar energy.
The project was also able to give a boost to the Massachusetts economy by creating about 50 green jobs. According to National Grid, the photovoltaic panels for the project were manufactured by Evergreen Solar, a Massachusetts company, while other parts were also manufactured and installed by area companies.
The photovoltaic array is located in the town of Whitinsville and will contain 4,683 solar panels, each of which will produce 210 watts of electricity. The panels will be located on the roof of National Grid's New England Distribution Center.
"Projects such as this take skilled and talented hands that have working knowledge of cutting-edge technologies. Without our many and varied local solar experts, this accomplishment would have been much more challenging,” said National Grid executive Ed White.
