Siemens will manufacture the solar solution at its Siemens West Chicago plant, and the solution will include Siemens Sinvert photovoltaic (PV) inverter technology in a multi-unit cluster design.
The solar technology will also include inverters, transformers and containers and will feature a major technology advantage by using 1000VDC inverters along with 1000VDC panels for maximum energy harvesting.
Siemens Sinvert PVS solar inverters are integrated within environmentally controlled and air-cooled containers to ensure that output demands are delivered for the expected 20-year lifespan of the PV solar power plant.
The Murphy facility will also feature Siemens PV-WinCC SCADA software, offering high-level monitoring, integration of processes and automatic, on-site or remote monitoring for complete communication, control and visualization the solar power system, the company said.
Siemens solar vertical market management director Richard Myers said the company’s service and support will ensure uptime and plant efficiency throughout the project lifecycle by providing a 20-year customer service agreement.
