Siemens Industry announced today it has added another 1 megawatt (MW) of solar power to its portfolio as Granite Construction Company (GCC) recently commissioned one of the US's first solar-powered aggregate and hot-mix facilities located in Coalinga, California.
GCC is using Siemens' Sinvert PVS1051 UL inverter with an integrated e-house solution and a 1000 KVA oil transformer. The 1MW solar power generation system will provide clean energy to power Granite's aggregate mining facility.
Siemens Sinvert PVS1051 UL is used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to convert the direct current from the PV generators into a three-phase current that is then supplied to the connected power grid.
Granite's 1MW project is one of several solar accounts announced by Siemens. In September, Siemens began production of 10 Sinvert PVS2000 inverters for a 20MW solar field in Stillwater, Nevada being developed by Enel Green Power North America, Inc. The project also includes 10 2000kVA 12.47 kV step-up transformers and one 20MVA GSU transformer.
In July, Siemens announced it had received a multi-million dollar order from Interconnect Solar Development, LLC, to supply solar technology for the 20MW Murphy Flats solar field located in Idaho. The project includes inverters, transformers and containers and will feature Siemens 1000VDC inverters along with 1000VDC panels for maximum energy harvesting.
Siemens has begun production of its Sinvert solar inverters at its West Chicago, Illinois manufacturing facility, localising its manufacturing to better serve its customers based throughout the US. The company invested approximately $10 million (USD) upgrading two buildings at the location, one of which will support the growing demand for solar power domestically.
