Vendor outlines 3 MW Spring Creek solar design and estimated output
Summary
Priority Power presented a 3 MW AC (3.9 MW DC) single‑axis tracker design for Spring Creek Park, estimating roughly 6,800 MWh/year and a 15‑acre footprint; vendors emphasized warranties and multiple ownership/financing options.
Priority Power presented a proposed 3 megawatt AC solar facility for Spring Creek Park that uses single‑axis trackers and a 3.9 MW DC overbuild to maximize morning and afternoon production. The vendor said the layout would use about 15 acres and, based on historical weather modeling, “this layout would generate the 6,800 megawatt hours in a year.”
The presenters described typical module warranties of 30 years and said properly maintained modules can last 35–40 years, producing decades of low‑cost electricity. They emphasized multiple procurement and ownership models—municipal ownership or a power‑purchase agreement (PPA)—and said the firm would proceed with feasibility and engineering studies before firming pricing or bids.
