Southern California Edison (SCE) has awarded SunPower Corp. a contract to provide solar technology for generating up to 200 MW, or 80% of the solar power capacity needed for the utility's solar photovoltaic installation program.
During the next five years, SCE plans to install, own and operate 250 MW of solar generating capacity, most of it on otherwise unused large warehouse rooftops. The large installations will be connected directly to neighborhood distribution circuits where the leased rooftops are located.
According to SunPower, SCE is purchasing the SunPower T5 Solar Roof Tile product, which integrates a solar panel, frame and roof mounting system, thereby reducing installation time and costs.
