Cenergy Power, a unit of BAP Power
Corp, has completed a 586kW solar
photovoltaic (PV) system for almond
processor Hughson Nut at its 50,000ft2
processing facility in California, US.
The 586kW solar PV system is expected
to produce over 970,000kWh of solar
energy annually for the blanching, dry
roasting and cutting lines that produce
sliced, slivered, diced and milled
almonds. The energy produced is said
to be equivalent to removing about
730 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Cenergy Power will provide scheduled
operations and maintenance for the
system for ten years.
Hughson Nut principal, Martin Pohl, said,
“Cenergy Power did a great job on an
initial 504kW solar project for a related
nut hulling business over a year ago,
so we were very confident in their
capabilities on this second solar project.”
