Conergy has begun construction work at three carrot farms sites, owned by Grimmway; each facility will feature 4,760 Conergy PM 240 Watt solar modules and will produce 1.15MW of clean renewable energy.

In addition, these installations will help prevent the release of over six million pounds of CO2 greenhouse gas annually, and reduce energy consumption and costs.

Conergy project development manager David Vincent said, "Conergy helps Grimmway prevent the emission of greenhouse gases thanks to the solar installation.

Grimmway Enterprises spokesperson John Noland said, "We are very happy with the team of Conergy and their local Construction Management partner SC Anderson, their professional attitude, attention to detail and expertise."

Conergy won the contract earlier in May 2012.

US based Grimmway Farms is a grower, producer and shipper of carrots.
