Greentech Lead America: Upsolar, a provider of solar PV
modules, has completed a 2.2 MW solar power plant in Sharon, VT. This is
Upsolar’s largest project in the United States.
The project was constructed by New England-based Talmage
Solar Engineering. The system consists of 9,562 UP-M230 polycrystalline
modules, all backed by the Upsolar’s Reinforced Warranty. Featuring trigger
points at years 3, 7, 12, 16, 20 and 25, the company’s Reinforced Warranty
ensures its modules will maintain high levels of performance over the long
term.
The system incorporates Tigo Energy’s Module Maximizer
technology to feed optimized renewable energy directly into the local grid.
Tigo Energy’s power optimizers enable Upsolar to boost power output across the
entire system.
“In collaborating with Tigo Energy, we’ve again
demonstrated our unwavering commitment to expanding the U.S. solar market
through product variety and technological innovation. We look forward to
demonstrating the performance-enhancing capabilities of our smart module
solution with this system, as well as upcoming projects across the
country,” said Troy Dalbey, managing director of Upsolar America.
Tigo also provides digital monitoring services at the
module level to ensure the system is operating to its fullest potential at any
given moment.
“Upsolar’s reliable modules paired with Tigo
Energy’s power optimizers offered us the ideal balance of quality, performance
and affordability required to bring this project to life. The combined
advantages of the Upsolar’s tier-1 specs and Tigo Energy’s innovative
technology will ensure that this system will outperform a traditional array at
a lower cost per kilowatt hour,” said Kale Inoue, chief financial officer
of Talmage Solar Engineering,
