EDF Renewable Energy completes construction of a 1.11 MW solar PV carport in California



The solar PV carport at Buck Institute provides shade canopy to vehicles while generating green electricityEDF Renewable Energy (EDF RE, Paris, France) and MCE Clean Energy (San Rafael, CA, U.S.) on May 12th, 2016 announced the completion of construction on a 1.11 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) carport installation at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, California.
The solar PV carport, located on a 4-acre upper parking lot is the largest solar PV facility in Marin County. Solar power generated is delivered directly to MCE’s customers, including the Buck Institute, under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
This carport project is part of the larger 32.6 MW Cottonwood Solar contract signed between EDF Renewable Energy and MCE in 2011 and later acquired by Dominion.
The Cottonwood solar PV portfolio consists of three sites, two of which are ground-mount facilities located on private land in the central California counties of Kern and Kings that became operational in April 2015.
