``iL 22X010DRB Application - Peck Reservoir (Site #5): Summary Hunt)n
The proposed municipal photovoltaic (PV) project is being develope =t ` ekbe
green power to the City of Huntington Beach. The project consists of providing solar
laminate on the peck reservoir roof. A thin film is proposed in case of this rooftop
application. Electricity generated by these thin film sheets will be routed through
wiring in conduits to an inverter located on the property. At the inverter, power is
transformed from DC to AC and then delivered to the existing electrical room
switchboard.
The proposed mechanism for developing the package is through a Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) under which a third party developer is selected via a competitive
selection process and at no upfront cost to the city. The city will purchase PV
generated green power from the selected developer for a period of 20 years and it is
expected that the long term cost to the city will be competitive if not better price
paid to Southern California Edison.
The overall project consists of the following 2 major components
• PV Panels - Thin Film PVL-144
Total Panels - 540
• Invert er - Satcon PowerGate Plus 100kW
TOTAL CAPACITY - 77.76kW STC DC
Based on the historical average solar radiation, the proposed project will generate
104,976 With of energy per year. This is equivalent to C02 emissions reduction by
about 66,228 lbs per year or equivalent of 3,919 trees in C02 savings.
The City of Huntington Beach is a leader in energy efficiency and renewable energy
and this project fits into city's objective of gaining energy independence by replacing
traditional fossil fuel based power sources with renewable energy. The project is
expected to serve about 75% percentage of energy needs based on the total energy
consumed at this site. The surroundings to the site are shown in this image.
Finally, the proposed project shall serve the City of Huntington Beach, Peck
Reservoir Facility.
