The PV solar power generation system consists of 224 Schott modules and a PV Powered Inverter. PLP expects the system to generate over 66 MW-hrs per year of clean energy which will supply a portion of the electricity consumed by the manufacturing facility. The system is closely monitored, and PLP has a kiosk in the front lobby so that the energy production from this array may be viewed real-time. As an added benefit, the new solar system not only generates reliable clean renewable power, but also provides a shade canopy for employee cars. With the new system in Albemarle, PLP now has approximately 700 kW in PV solar capacity installed at multiple manufacturing facilities worldwide including a PV solar system at its headquarters located in Cleveland, Ohio.
