BlueChip Energy™是專門為民用住宅、商業(yè)、政府和公用事業(yè)建筑提供太陽能完整解決方案的公司。今天該公司宣布已開始Rinehart太陽能農場第二階段建設。該項目是佛羅里達州的一個規(guī)模達10兆瓦的公用事業(yè)太陽能光伏發(fā)電項目。
    Rinehart Solar Farm此項目位于佛羅里達州的瑪麗湖畔，總容量約為10兆瓦MW，每年可發(fā)電1500萬千瓦小時。這相當于大約1100個家庭每年所耗電力。該項目將覆蓋38萬平方英尺的屋頂空間和周邊BlueChip Energy設施的部分面積
    該太陽能農場正處于興建階段，已完成屋頂頂端共120千瓦的設備安裝，裝有520塊230瓦德單晶硅板和最先進的60千瓦的Fronius逆變器。預計第一階段將于2010年7月完成。第二階段是包括500千瓦組件的房頂項目。隨后的第三階段包括1.4兆瓦屋頂系統(tǒng)和8MW地面系瓦。
    BlueChip Energy公司擁有電力購買協(xié)議（PPA）。Rinehart太陽能農場可為佛羅里達提供可持續(xù)使用的清潔能量。作為清潔能源項目，該項目將刺激經濟快速發(fā)展，是本地形成高薪酬，高技能的太陽能建設特色經濟。

    BlueChip Energy™, a provider of complete solar energy solutions for residential, commercial, government and utility applications, today announced it has started stage one of the Rinehart Solar Farm, a 10 MW utility-scale solar PV facility in Central Florida.

    The Rinehart Solar Farm project, located in Lake Mary, Fla., will have a total capacity of 10 megawatts (MW) and an annual generation of approximately 15,000,000 kilowatt-hours. This is equivalent to the annual energy use of roughly 1,100 area homes. It will cover a portion of the 380,000 square foot rooftop space and surrounding acreage of BlueChip Energy’s Lake Mary facility.

    The solar farm is being built in stages, starting with a roof top plant totaling 120 kilowatts (kW). It will feature 520 monocrystalline 230 Watt panels and two state-of-the-art 60 kW Fronius inverters. The first stage is expected to be completed by July, 2010. Stage two is a roof top plant consisting of 500 kW. Subsequent stages will consist of a third, 1.4 MW rooftop system and 8 MW of ground-based systems.

    The company has a power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply Progress Energy Florida with renewable solar power from the Rinehart Solar Farm. As a clean energy project, it will stimulate the local economy by creating an estimated 100 high-paying, high-skilled jobs while building local expertise in solar energy. “We expect the Rinehart Solar Farm to serve as a model in the state of Florida for more large-scale, alternative-energy projects," commented Lawrence Hefler, spokesperson for the company.
