Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant commissioned in Colorado's Alamosa County

                   Colorado's Alamosa County has achieved a sustainable solution to get rid of electric grid supply shortage and power cuts. The completion and commissioning of 19-megawatt Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant has been announced by Xcel Energy and SunPower Corporation. This Greater Sandhill Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant is installed in Colorado's Alamosa County to provide a reliable source for supply of electricity through Solar Energy. This solar power plant is installed with SunPower's high-efficienT Solar PV Technology, which is fast to install and is competitively-priced for power plant applications. The plant uses SunPower® Tracker systems, which generate up to 25 percent more energy than conventional systems while reducing land-use requirements. The SunPower Trackers makes much energy capture because of it’s tilting toward the sun as it moves across the sky and hence provides more power on hot summer days when utilities need it most. This Greater Sandhill solar power plant is capable to feed annual requirement of about 5000 homes and it is currently the largest operating PV solar power plant in Colorado. The Greater Sandhill is completed after a long construction journey of about 9 months.
