Gabardan 2.8 MWp (MegaWatt-peak) Nanosolar test installation commissioned.
Oregon Nanosolar photovoltaic (PV) projects on track for end of 2011 power delivery.
Has EDF Energies Nouvelles completed either of the 3MWp projects using Nanosolar Utility Panels in Gabardan, France, or Salem, Oregon USA?
I confirm a 2.8 MWp test installation with Nanosolar technology has been commissioned within the Gabardan solar power plant in France.
The 2.8 MW Nanosolar installation is co-located at the 67.2 MWp solar farm completed last week per “EDF Energies Nouvelles completes the commissioning of the Gabardan solar farm in France”. The 67.2 MW solar farm utilizes about 872300 “next-generation” First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) (FS Series 3?) PV modules.
Based on the April 2011 Data Sheet, Nanosolar Utility Panel, I estimate the 2.8 MW Nanosolar PV installation required from 11667 to 15556 modules depending on the rated power and module mix. The Nanosolar Utility Panel Watt-peak (Wp) rated power ranges from 180 to 240 Watts corresponding to module efficiencies of 8.99% to 11.98% respectively.
Both sites are utilizing Nanosolar panels.
The Bellevue Solar Project site will comprise 1.69 MW of capacity and the Yamhill Solar Project site will produce 1.15 MW. The projects will connect to the existing PGE utility system, which provides power for 822,000 customers in 52 Oregon cities within a 4,000 square mile service territory.
Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) signed two Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with enXco, an EDF Energies Nouvelles Company, for the power generated by the Nanosolar installations located near Salem, Oregon USA, in the Willamette Valley.
These projects add up to a whopping 5.65 MWp of module shipments and installations by Nanosolar for 2011. Let’s hope Nanosolar module reliability and performance has been improved since the first 1.1 MWp photovoltaic plant installation discussed in the last post.
Other Nanosolar Project Partners BELECTRIC, Plain Energy GmbH, and AES Solar Energy Ltd., a joint venture of The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) and Riverstone Holdings LLC, may also have projects in the works.
