The 1MW facility will employ SunPower C7 Tracker technology, a solar photovoltaic tracking system.
The solar power plant will be engineered, constructed, operated and maintained by SunPower.
The plant is expected to produce an amount of energy equal to that needed to serve about 225 SRP customers’ homes, will require minimal water use, and supports ASU’s renewable energy goals.
Under a purchase-power agreement, SRP will buy the entire output of the solar plant from SunPower and, in a separate agreement, ASU will purchase all of the energy attributable to the plant for use at its Polytechnic campus.
The C7 Tracker combines single-axis tracking technology with rows of parabolic mirrors, reflecting light onto 22.8% efficient SunPower Maxeon solar cells.
SunPower designs, manufactures and delivers the efficient and reliable solar panels and systems.
