Mecasolar says it is providing 500 kW of two-axis trackers for solar photovoltaic projects in California. This agreement is the first in a series of projects in the U.S. in which the company will participate, with approximately 30 MW expected to be installed between 2009 and 2010.
This project aims to reduce energy costs for pumping water in Reclamation District 108, located in Yola, Calif. PROINSO, part of the OPDE Group, will be providing the supply and logistics of the project, providing 34 Mecasolar model MS-2E trackers and 230 W modules from Trina Solar.
Mecasolar adds that it plans to open a new production plant in the San Francisco area in the next few months.
