Lexodant Solar Technology is pleased to announce that the 8.5 Megawatt PV Solar ground mount located at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor, New Jersey is now operational.<\/p>\n
Steve Schwerd, Partner and VP of Lexodant Solar Technology stated, \u201cWe are proud of the final product that is believed to be the largest college PV system in North America, which will save Mercer County Community College approximately $750,000 per year while helping the community and the state with sustainability goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Working with the EPC PowerPartners Mastec and the developer SunLight General Capital, Lexodant Solar Technologyprovided full solar service engineering work from concept through approvals and construction for the PV array at this College Campus.\u00a0 Services included PV Design and Layout, Electrical and Structural Engineering, Land Survey, Geotechnical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering.\u00a0 The engineering also included modifications to the campus medium voltage switchyard, necessary for the interconnection at 27kV.<\/p>\n
This impressive installation is run by 17 Solectria Smart Grid 500kW inverters being powered by 39,522 Shott 240 watt Polycrystalline modules mounted on a typical post driven Schletter racking system.\u00a0 The array covers just over 45 acres of land on the campus grounds consisting of excess land on the outskirts of a parking lot continuing through an open field on the property.\u00a0 This system is designed to offset approximately 87% of the total electricity consumption of the County Campus, lessened the impact on the College and community as a whole.<\/p>\n
There were a few design restrictions that had to be worked around in order to make the array the most effective for the College.\u00a0 A \u00a0few in particular included, a designated untouchable wet lands area, challenging shading, as well as a\u00a0 Sunoco pipeline with easement and buffer requirements that ran through the middle of the field.\u00a0 Even with these obstructions and challenges Lexodant Solar Technology was able to design a system that is extremely efficient and supplies the campus with 8.5MW of renewable power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lexodant Solar Technology is pleased to announce that the 8.5 Megawatt PV Solar ground mount located at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor, New Jersey is now operational.
