KEY DETAILS
The system was supported by OMCO fixed-tilt racking and SMA Sunny Highpower PEAK3 inverters. The installation has been developed on approximately 50 acres of company-owned land supporting Poland Spring bottling and manufacturing operations. The PV system includes more than 23,000 Canadian Solar modules mounted on OMCO fixed-tilt racking with C-channel foundations and SMA Sunny Highpower PEAK3 inverters. Installation work required the PV feeder route to cross two active asphalt roadways supporting continuous 24/7 plant traffic at the manufacturing facility. Engineering teams used hydro-vac excavation to expose a concrete duct bank containing two parallel feeders connected from a local substation.
