This photovoltaic facility, built by Rosendin Electric for DE Shaw Renewable Investments, is the largest fixed-tilt solar plant in Sacramento County, CA. It was commissioned by the end of 2020.
“We are proud and appreciative for the opportunity to partner with Rosendin Electric to supply our fully integrated medium voltage inverter stations for this landmark project with DE Shaw”, said Nohra Nasr, Vice President and General Manager of Solar PV and BESS at Ingeteam. “This is another milestone for Ingeteam which boasts our commitment to serve and support the solar and energy storage sector in the US and worldwide. Our proven technology and performance track record in delivering, commissioning, and servicing our product to dozens of significantly large utility-scale projects continue to feed our confidence to be ready for any challenge”.
Ingeteam provides complete plug-and-play solution
The solar PV plant has been built on the premises of the decommissioned Rancho Seco nuclear power plant, that stopped its operations in 1989.
Ingeteam’s power station is a complete plug-and-play solution that is supplied on a turnkey basis for immediate connection on site. Each power station integrates a 3.38 MW PV inverter, a LV panel, an auxiliary services transformer and a MV padmounted transformer, all of which are supplied mounted on top of the same skid platform.
