SunPower to supply 200MW solar modules to SCE
BRIGHTERENERGY - SunPower Corporation has won a contract to provide 200 megawatts of solar power systems to Southern California Edison. The utility plans to install, own and operate 250MW of solar generating capacity over the next five years, and the deal with SunPower Corp will provide 80% of the program.
SCE, part of Edison International, is aiming to develop most of the new solar capacity on otherwise unused warehouse rooftops, it said yesterday.
Individual arrays of between 1MW and 2MW will be developed on leased rooftops, to connect directly into neighbourhood distribution circuits.
