AMSOLAR, a solar power developing company, declared that it has added GCL Solar Energy as a part of its team, which will venture into the building of a 5.2 MW solar power project for the San Diego Unified School District.
The completion of the project is anticipated to generate enough power to electrify approximately twenty cities utilizing rooftop and parking lot installations thus establishing the district as the biggest solar power generating plant in the US.
GCL Solar Energy, a San Francisco-based company, will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) technology to support the project as well as to the other AMSOLAR school projects in the United States valued around $100 million. GCL Solar has supported a number of solar projects in California and the company is a division of GCL-Poly Energy Holdings, a large polysilicon and wafers producing company.
AMSOLAR’s, Managing Partner Joshua Weinstein, said that the large project is vital for their association with GCL Solar. He added that the installation of 23.000 solar panels over the San Diego Unified School District will assist the school to sustain the solar development in the country. GCL Solar’s Chairman, Hunter Jiang, said that the San Diego Unified Schools’ investment in the project amply displays their commitment to renewable solar energy and teaching about it to the next generation.
