Blue Wing Solar Project

The Blue Wing Solar Project is a 16.6 MWp (14.4 MWAC) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in San Antonio, Texas. It was one of the largest PV facilities in Texas when it came online in late 2010 and is owned by a Duke Energy Subsidiary.[1]

Key Information

Project Details

[edit]

The project covers 113 acres (46 ha) near the intersection of highways IH 37 and U.S. 181.[2] It has 214,500 solar photovoltaic modules manufactured by US firm First Solar that are mounted onto fixed-tilt (20deg) racks. The plant is expected to produce more than 26 GWh of electricity per year.[3]

The installation also includes a 500-kilowatt demonstration facility where a variety of other thin film and crystalline silicon PV modules, as well as a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) unit, have been installed for evaluation and comparison purposes.[4]
