CPV starts construction of the 100 MW Maple Hill Solar Project in Pennsylvania
Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) has started the construction of the Maple Hill Solar Project, a planned 100 MW solar power generation facility in Portage Township, Pennsylvania with the support of Gemma Power Systems.
The solar farm, located on the site of a former coal mine, is expected to begin generating electricity by May of 2022. Maple Hill Solar will consist of 530+ watt solar panels which are provided by Talesun, a global leading module manufacturer. The modules incorporate the latest bi-facial technology and utilize single-axis tracking to maximize energy production.
The Maple Hill facility will offset more than 100,000 tons of CO2 emissions by displacing generation from older, nonrenewable facilities, equivalent to removing 21,000 cars from the road. Solar power can moderate electricity prices year-round, but especially during high-priced summer months.
