Experience
a. 1 MW, fixed tilt, ground mounted, Coachella, CA, USA
Coachella is located in southern California in the vicinity of palm springs. The system has been build
on tribal land of native American next to Augustine Casino. The system consists of 15228 First
Solar FS372 PV Panels. In order to decrease risk of production losses due to inverter failure, the
PV Solar electric system has been divided into 4 sub-arrays. Each operating on a Xantrex 250
kW Inverter. The System is facing south, has a fixed tilt of 30 and is mounted on a Schletter
aluminium Racking System
