One of the largest PV systems in Connecticut, Somers Solar Center will produce enough electricity to supply nearly 1,400 homes.

A 7.4 MWdc solar park in Connecticut is now mechanically complete, including the installation of Array Technologies' patented DuraTrack™ HZ single-axis horizontal solar tracker. Constructed by locally headquartered EPC Prime Solutions Inc., the clean energy produced at Somers Solar Center will go to Connecticut Light & Power Co under a PPA agreement for the lifetime of the project.

"Our DuraTrack™ HZ solar tracker is designed to maximize land occupancy while fitting into irregular site boundaries and tight corners, characteristic at this site," explains Ron Corio, President and CEO of Array Technologies. "We are proud to supply the reliable solar tracking technology that will serve the Somers Solar Project and the people of Connecticut far into the future."

"We have taken great pains to ensure that our design and installation of the Somers plant have been executed to the highest industry standards. Our selection of ATI is only one example of the high quality of our installation" says William May, CEO of Prime Solutions. "…and the comprehensive service and support we have experienced from the ATI team have been strong contributors to our achievement of those high standards."

The innovative articulating driveline and rotating gear drive design of the DuraTrack™ HZ allows for installation on undulating terrain or within irregular site boundaries, without requiring extensive grading, saving costs and making it flexible for any terrain. Chosen for its dependability, robust performance and minimal maintenance, the DuraTrack™ HZ has surpassed extensive testing and is UL 3703 certified.

Located on 90 acres of leased land in north-central Connecticut, Somers Solar Center is expected to begin commercial operation within the 4th quarter of 2013.
