Solar project developer Clean Focus has completed a ground-mounted 3.75-megawatt farm in the Adelanto, California.
Construction financing was provided by Seminole Financial Services whilst Sol Construction led building efforts, and MPE Consulting served as lead engineer. The project will generate 7,156,000 kW hours of clean electricity a year , and reduce emissions by 4,934 tons — the equivalent of removing more than 1,040 passenger vehicles from the road. The project sells electricity to Southern California Edison under the California Renewable Energy Small Tariff program.
“Clean Focus is very pleased to be bringing our latest solar project online,” said Clean Focus CEO Stanley Chin. “We continue to demonstrate the value of repurposing sites for solar power installations. This Indus trial land was underutilized, not unlike many of the landfill sites where we own and operate solar.
“We strove to strike a balance between installing a significant capital project and preserving the natural beauty of the high desert. This solar project delivers a number of benefits to Adelanto, including hundreds of local jobs and clean, reliable electricity. Adelanto faces a higher than average unemployment rate, and through our Green Energy Regional Center we were able to utilize funds dedicated to investing for job creation in areas of high unemployment.”
