Solon宣布它担保了太阳能开发商Rivermoor Energy和电业承包商Fischbach and Moore 签署的合同,并代表美国国家电网为其1MW光伏项目提供的高品质的太阳能光伏组件。该项目将会给马塞诸塞州的Haverhill提供一个新的“光明地带”，目前项目已经启动了。
该项目将在2010年秋天完成，到时会产生1，016KW的直流电源或者每年产生将近1,300MWh。能源生产将由3,696块Solon占地地面为五英亩的安装组件提供。
“美国国家电网承诺，以尽量减少对环境的影响，并提倡太阳能发电，地区副总裁兼Solon北美总经理Dan Alcombright说。
美国国家电网的太阳能发电设施在Haverhill的建设，估计会节省22吨二氧化硫，9吨的氮氧化物的，和16,000吨二氧化碳在30年间内。它能给100多家用户提供足够的太阳能。
SOLON has announced it secured a contract from Rivermoor Energy and Fischbach and Moore, on behalf of National Grid to supply its premium quality solar modules for a one-megawatt solar photovoltaic project. National Grid's project will provide a new "brightfield" to Haverhill, Mass.
Construction on the Haverhill project has begun by solar developer Rivermoor Energy and electrical contractor, Fischbach and Moore.
The project, which will be completed in the fall of 2010, is designed to generate 1,016 kilowatts of direct current power or approximately 1,300 megawatt-hours per year. Energy production comes from 3,696 SOLON ground-mounted panels on roughly five acres.
"We are pleased to have selected the SOLON-Rivermoor Energy-Fischbach team to supply materials and expertise for our Haverhill solar site as we continue development of our solar projects under Massachusetts' Green Communities Act," said Fouad Dagher, renewable energy program manager for National Grid.
"The project supports the solar industry both in materials and in providing green jobs in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We've already completed one site in Whitinsville, Mass. Haverhill is next, and three more sites are underway, for a total of five megawatts of solar generation."
"By converting a former industrial site into a next-generation solar brightfield, National Grid is taking a leadership role in the utility industry. Rivermoor Energy and our partner, Fischbach and Moore, are pleased to utilize SOLON solar modules in this project, which will advance clean, renewable energy in Massachusetts," said John Tourtelotte, managing director, Rivermoor Energy.
"National Grid shows a commendable commitment to minimizing environmental impact and advocating solar generation," said Dan Alcombright, regional vice president and general manager of North America for SOLON.
"We are pleased to work with National Grid to expand their renewable generation development and bring quality solar power installations to Massachusetts."
National Grid's solar generation facility in Haverhill is estimated to save 22 tons of sulfur dioxide, 9 tons of nitrous oxides, and 16,000 tons of carbon dioxide over a 30-year period. It is capable of generating enough solar energy to annually power more than 100 homes.
