100-MW Texas solar project using Erthos ground surface area mounts
- Erthos, the maker of Earth Mount Solar PV, a solar mounting option that safeguards panels flat to the ground, signed a contract with Industrial Sun for a utility-scale solar project in Texas. Although the specific size of the plant has not yet been disclosed, Erthos has actually exposed that the project surpasses 100 MWDC.
Industrial Sun, a renewable energy and also storage space designer based in Austin, has actually jointly delivered more than 6,000 MWAC of power projects throughout the USA, with a concentration in the ERCOT market.
The Erthos project has an anticipated adjoin capacity of 100 MWAC, as well as Industrial Sun will be the sole off-taker. A project of this size using traditional solar racking would generally require between five and also 6 acres of land per megawatt, Erthos specified in a press release, nonetheless, with Earth Mount Solar PV, it takes fewer than 2.5 acres per megawatt.
" Erthos innovation permits us to maximize our project capacity, specifically in those areas where our projects are land-constrained. Erthos is a really welcome service for our business, and for any type of programmer needing to up-size the capacity of their projects," claimed Wade Gungoll, handling director of Industrial Sun.
The agreement with Industrial Sun is Erthos' largest contract to date.
" There's no question that our organization is remaining to accelerate," stated Charles Pimentel, CCO of Erthos. "That remains in large part due to our ability to supply enhanced energy density, greater wind ratings, as well as short construct times-- as well as to do so at a reduced expense."
