Solar Frontier modules were selected by Staten Solar for their advantageous performance in real-world conditions including high yields in hot temperatures and under partial shading, the company said.
Three of the sixteen projects are currently operational with the balance expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
Charles Pimentel, COO of Solar Frontier Americas, said, “Staten Solar understands the challenges the agricultural communities face and utilizes their solar expertise in aggregated net metering, rate optimization, demand response, peak day pricing, and financing to deliver valuable energy solutions that help farmers reduce their monthly operating costs.”
