OMCO Pierceton

Pierceton, Indiana

PROJECT DESCRIPTION


In October 2019, Inovateus completed construction on a 236 kWdc / 200 kWac ground-mount PV array for OMCO Solar in Pierceton, Indiana. This is a flagship installation for the racking manufacturer and features both their Origin tracker and Choice fixed-tilt products in a single behind-the-meter system. Over 90% of the clean energy is generated by the trackers equipped with Hanwha QCELL 345W modules. The fixed-tilt portion generates the remainder with strings of JA 285W modules. Seven SMA STP inverters combine into a dedicated panelboard which is ultimately fed directly into the main service switchgear unit to offset grid consumption. Not only does OMCO save on monthly energy bills but the metals roll-forming company has a PPA in place with Wabash Valley Power which allows the sale of solar energy back to the utility; a profitable arrangement to have for those sunny weekends where the PV plant output exceeds low facility loads!
