Solar at 3 Level Farm, Vassalboro Rd, South China, Maine
Overview and System Location:
The 3 Level Farm Community Solar Farm will be on Vasalboro Road in South China, Maine. The solar array will be installed in a field on the west side of the road, and interconnected to a new CMP service on Vassalboro Road.
System Design:
The proposed solar farm has a minimum size of 40 kW and a maximum size of 51 kW. The solar system will consist of between 132 to 165 Renesola 310W 156 Series polycrystalline solar modules mounted using a Schletter FS driven pile ground mounting system. The modules are wired together in a series and parallel configuration and then interconnected to the utility grid through SMA TL grid tied inverters (note 1). The array performance will be monitored by SolarLog utility grade meter system which provides access to real time system performance to members, and facilitates the sale of Renewable Energy Credits.
Note 1: all component specifications are preliminary and components may be substituted for the functional equivalents until project final design and contract
System Performance:
Module Orientation: 180 degrees (true)
Module Pitch: 35 degrees
Shading: 5%
Total Solar Resource Fraction: 95%
At this ideal solar site and with the benefit of effective convective module cooling from the ground mounted system, the Morris Farm Community solar farm is expected to produce 1,260 kwhr per kW on average through the year. This Community Solar Farm is currently open for enrollment.
System Specifications:
Overall System size: 40-51 kW
Minimum Share size: 4 kW (12 modules)
Total number of shares available: 9
Expected Construction date: Fall 2015
