PowerPlay Solar Development, an integrated solar development and finance company based in Ridgefield, Conn., has commissioned a 2 MW, nine-acre photovoltaic solar plant developed by the company at Berkshire School in Sheffield, Mass.
PowerPlay Solar Development designed and constructed the project in collaboration with Spire Solar Systems, a solar systems design builder based in Bedford, Mass. Berkshire School's ground-mounted system is composed of 8,332 crystalline silicon modules from SolarWorld.
The solar field is expected to generate approximately 45% of the school's electricity needs, according to PowerPlay Solar Development.
