Hayworth-Fabian LLC, the City of Oakley, Calif., and the Oakley Chamber of Commerce have begun work on a 1.68 MW solar facility that will use S-Energy's 295 W solar modules to provide shaded parking for the RVs and boats at a storage facility located in Oakley.
More than 170,000 square feet of canopy parking, engineered and constructed by Baja Construction, will be the backbone of the project. The installation will be engineered and constructed by Cenergy Power, a division of BAP Power Corp.
Under Pacific Gas & Electric's feed-in-tariff program, the utility will purchase the solar power generated at this site under a 20 year contract. Additionally, the shade provided by the solar modules will offer shaded parking for RVs and boats.
