Keeping track of solar power

Solar Energy, LLC, a subsidiary of LS Power Group. The project was designed and built by SunPower Corp utilizing SunPower ® Tracker systems and high efficiency solar panels to follow the sun’s movement during the day, increasing energy capture by up to 25 per cent over conventional fixed tilt solar technology. A dedication ceremony was recently held for Dover SUN Park, which is planned to supply enough power for 1,500 homes in the Delmarva Peninsula.

Over 100,000 feet of Alcan Cable’s Stabiloy ® SunPlus™ PV cable was installed in Delaware’s Dover SUN Park project, to distribute power from the combiner box to the AC/ DC inverter. Said to be easier to install than copper cables, Stabiloy SunPlus cable is an aluminum alloy photovoltaic cable that addresses environmental conditions and installation challenges associated with solar projects. As the largest operational solar project in the Northeast, SUN Park is owned by White Oak
