>More PV in Sacramento's Grid
>
>
>
>A new solar PV array was added on to the Rancho Seco property owned
>by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to celebrate the
>20 year anniversary of the utility's first major solar installation.
>PV1 was installed and hooked into the power grid to provide one
>megawatt (MW) of renewable energy to the Sacramento system. PV6, the
>anniversary installation, increased the field array capacity to 3.2
>MW, enough to power more than 2,200 single-family homes. The 3,700
>modules were fitted into approximately 412 tracking panels that
>follow the sun across the sky to help gather the maximum amount of
>solar energy.
