AMEC has set a 368-day time frame for completion of the project, substantially shorter than the 449 days required by the Air Force. “Bringing the system on-line more than 3½ months ahead of schedule will result in construction cost savings as well as energy cost savings for the government from power generated earlier than originally planned,” remarked engineer Steve Felice, AMEC’s project manager.
The project will involve the installation of more than 5,000 new 220/230-watt PV modules manufactured by SolarWorld California, Inc., at that company’s site in Camarillo, California The modules are specifically manufactured for anti-reflectivity and approved for installation in a flight zone.
