Soitec 1MW Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) Demonstration Projects for On Site Distributed Power Generation

Abstract

Soitec constructed a one (1) MWAC power plant (Project) at the U.S. Armys installation at FortIrwin, California, to demonstrate its Concentrix concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) technology and address ESTCPs objective of cost effective on-site distributed energy generation. The Project employed forty (40) Soitec CX-S530 CPV systems and included third party performance validation by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and solar forecasting development expertise by the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). The data collection and observation period ran from 28 July 2015 to 28 July 2017 (24 months).
