Construction began in May, 2012 and was fully completed in August, 2013. It uses thin-film PV panels bought from Solar Frontier (CIGS type) and First Solar (CdTe type).
Phase 1 had a nameplate capacity of 60 MW and was connected to the grid in December, 2012.
enXco has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) for the production from the station.
That clean electricity could offset roughly 74,000 tons of carbon emissions each year.
