Steve Vavrik, Managing Director, SunPower Corp., at the Dover SUN Park dedication
ceremony on August 17, 2011.
A dedication ceremony was recently held for Dover SUN Park, a 10 megawatt solar project that will supply enough power for over 1,500 homes in the Delmarva Peninsula by using green energy.
Over 100,000 feet of Alcan Cable’s STABILOY® SunPlus™ PV Cable was installed in the Dover Sun Park project to distribute power from the combiner box to the AC/DC inverter. Lightweight, flexible and easier to install than copper cables, STABILOY SunPlus PV cable is an aluminum alloy photovoltaic cable that addresses environmental conditions and installation challenges associated with solar projects.
As the largest operational solar project in the Northeast, SUN Park is owned by White Oak Solar Energy, LLC, a subsidiary of LS Power Group. The project was designed and built by SunPower Corp. utilizing SunPower® Tracker systems and high efficiency solar panels to follow the sun’s movement during the day, increasing energy capture by up to 25 percent over conventional fixed tilt solar technology.
