Soitec to help develop 150-MW solar plant in CA

Soitec (Euronext Paris), a supplier of advanced solutions for the electronics and energy industries, has announced that its Concentrix concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) technology has been selected by Tenaska Solar Ventures to produce 150 megawatts (MW) of clean energy for San Diego Gas & Electric.

The new CPV solar power plant, named Imperial Solar Energy Centre (ISEC) West, will be constructed on a 1,057-acre site in Southern California’s western Imperial County, and is expected to be completed in 2015.

To support the project, Soitec will build a new factory in the San Diego region to manufacture its proprietary CPV modules. With an annual production capacity of 200 megawatts, the new CPV manufacturing facility will supply CPV modules not only to ISEC West, but to other utility-scale solar power projects throughout the desert southwest of the US.
