20-MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project Business Planning
Major Midwest Utility Company, United States

• Fixed-tilt and single-axis tracking
• Polysilicon and thin-film panels

Project Description:

Sargent & Lundy supported a major Midwest United States utility company with their business planning and screening for a 20-MW solar PV project. We evaluated potential land options for the installation of the solar PV plant with several configurations, including fixed-tilt versus single-axis tracking and poly-Si versus thin-film technology. Sargent & Lundy also performed conceptual designs of the 20-MW solar PV plant for each of the configurations.

Project Scope:

• Solar resource and projected energy production evaluation with PVsyst software
• Site suitability review
• Evaluation of solar technology
• Conceptual plant design
• Detailed cost schedule
• Equipment specification review
