The Rinehart solar farm project will have a total capacity of 10MW and an annual generation of approximately 15 million kWh. It will cover a portion of the 380,000sqft rooftop space and surrounding acreage of BlueChip Energy’s Lake Mary facility.
The solar farm will be built in stages, starting with a roof top plant totaling 120kW. It is currently in the pre-construction planning phase and expected to be completed by the end of July, 2010. Stage two is a roof top plant consisting of 500kW.
Subsequent stages will consist of a third, 1.4MW rooftop system and 8MW of ground-based systems. Construction of the entire facility is expected to be completed by October 2010. BlueChip Energy will build the plant using monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar PV modules and providing its own project development, engineering, procurement and construction capabilities.
