Project Overview:
The CPA began deploying solar with SunEdison in 2006, and now hosts 4 MW of clean, renewable solar power at eight locations to meet rising energy costs and a state mandate to implement renewable energy. One host is Chuckawalla Valley State Prison, a 1 MW ground mounted system installed in June 2006. The prison achieves three goals in hosting a solar system: it saves money on their energy bills, supports their state renewable energy mandates, and incurs no upfront capital expenses.

Customer Testimonial:
"SunEdison, working with the State of California, put together a total solar PV solution, from design to construction to activation. I was particularly impressed with the quality of construction, it was one of the most professionally run installations we've experienced and will help us achieve the Governor's alternative energy directive of a 20% grid power reduction by 2015."
