Tucson-based SOLON Corporation, one of the largest providers of turnkey solar power plants and manufacturer of crystalline silicon solar modules in the U.S., today announced the completion of a 1.6 megawatt (MW) solar power plant in Tucson in conjunction with Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP). As TEP’s largest local solar resource, the array will provide a faster, more cost effective way for TEP to integrate solar power into its renewable energy portfolio for Tucson residents.
TEP will provide the output of this array directly to customers through its new Bright Tucson Community Solar program. The program will allow customers to purchase solar energy in 150 kWh “blocks,” providing an easy and affordable way to reduce or eliminate their use of conventional power. The solar power plant is in the new Solar Zone at the University of Arizona (UA) Science and Technology Park, and consists of a single-axis tracking system featuring SOLON’s Velocity MW system. TEP will own and operate the solar production facility.
