October 16, 2014, pleased to announce that our RAY-MAX ® Distributed Architecture TM Inverter System has been specified for the 1.5 MWDC PV solar farm project located at the United States Department of Agriculture’s George Washington Carver Center (GWCC).. “This project will be the largest solar photovoltaics project in the Washington DC metropolitan area,” states Jay Troger, Nextronex’s CEO. Mr. Troger and Mr. Rudy Magasrevy, VP Sales Development, who attended on September 30th the ground breaking ceremony at the GWCC, led by native Ohioan Dr. Gregory L. Parham, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for Administration. The USDA is meeting the President’s challenge to deploy solar renewable energy at federal locations across the National Capital Region.
The project will consist of American made 4,750 SolarWorld 315 watt high efficiency solar panels and Nextronex’s patented inverter system which converts the DC power from the solar array to AC power with 98% efficiency. This system will reduce energy consumption required by the GWCC buildings by 2,140,000 kwh per year. Not only will the energy savings will be equivalent to planting 37,345 trees per year, the carbon offset (CO2) per year equals 2,110,500 tons. Over the system’s lifetime, it is estimated that 591.5 rail cars of coal will be saved.
Nextronex is honored to having been chosen by the USDA and Amber Enterprises as the inverter solution for this historical project.
Amber Enterprises will construct the project in two phases, commissioning the first phase of this project by December 2014. Inverters that will be employed in the GWCC field include the complete solution Gen 1 with podium and LC medium voltage. Nextronex’s inverter systems have a reputation for consistently providing higher energy output and 100% uptime.
