Black Mountain Generating Station
- Capacity: 10 MW dc
- Product: SOLON Single-Axis Tracker
Built under a 20-year PPA for UniSource Energy Services (UES), the Black Mountain Generating Station will allow the utility to provide renewable power to its customers without the upfront cost of the system installation.
Solon will finance, design, construct and maintain the system while UES purchases the electricity produced by the plant. Utilizing 60 of Solon’s single-axis trackers, the 10MW plant will feature over 40,000 utility solar modules and integrate Solon’s SCADA system to monitor and control the performance of the system.
