According to the company, it is breaking ground this week on a new photovoltaic array that will generate 9.4 megawatts of electricity. The installation is expected to provide clean power for 10 schools in the Antelope Valley Union High School District.
"We have always been committed to delivering alternative energy solutions, and we have an unprecedented track record in wind farm installation. With the addition of this project to our portfolio of solar projects installed over the past year, we are quickly building the same reputation for delivering solar power," said Duncan Frederick, Rosendin Electric's director of solar operations.
Rosendin reports that it won the contract in part because of its willingness to offer a performance ratio guarantee that the project will provide an optimum level of power over a specific amount of time.
The school district's solar array is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2011, and Rosendin noted that it has also recently completed a 1.2 megawatt solar array at San Jose's Mineta International Airport.
