| Solectria Renewables, LLC announced Friday the completion of a 220kW ground‐mount photovoltaic (PV) system at Carlson Orchards in Harvard, MA. Solectria Renewables, in partnership with Lighthouse Electrical Contracting, Inc. of Rockland, MA, provided two (2) PVI 95kW inverters and SolrenView, Solectria’s web‐based monitoring system, for one of the largest solar installations at an agricultural site or farm in Massachusetts. Carlson Orchards’ 140 acre farm produces apples, peaches and nectarines and is the largest apple cider supplier in New England. The farm consumes about 400,000 kilowatts (kW) of energy per year, largely for the operation of refrigeration units used to grow, store and preserve the fruit. This energy use amounts to over $80,000 in energy costs per year. The completed PV system is expected to generate approximately 75‐80% of the annual energy usage, saving the orchard about $60,000 per year. In a June article from the Harvard Post, General Manager of Carlson Orchards, Frank Carlson, stated, “With what we’re going to put into [the project] it’s probably about a five year payback, which in farming is better than planting an apple tree.” The solar project was funded in large part by a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (CEC) along with other grants from the USDA National Conservation Resource Services and the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. The system was designed by Lighthouse Electrical Contracting and contains 1,050 Evergreen 210W solar panels, a DPW Solar Corporation ground‐mount system, two (2) Solectria Renewables PVI 95kW inverters and SolrenView. |
