Day4 Energy has entered into a solar module supply contract with Ontario's Hybridyne Power Systems Canada. The contract represents supply of a total of 5.1 MW or 23,000 solar modules. Atlantic Wind and Solar Inc, a leading utility-scale renewable energy park developer, owns 47.5 percent stake in Hybridyne Power Systems Canada. Day4 Energy is leading provider of cost-effective high-performance solar solutions. Atlantic Wind and Solar had recently announced a new solar project, Newcastle Solar Energy Park, with a capacity of 2.0 MW. The balance of 3.1 MW will be utilized by the company for rooftop arrays in the Toronto area.
The 2.0-MW Newcastle Solar Energy Park is located about 80 km east of Toronto and is anticipated to commence construction during the second quarter of the year 2010. This ground mounted energy park from the group will be the largest solar array project. The solar energy park will comprise about 8,900 high-efficient Day4 60MC-I Guardian solar modules and eight HPE Hyperwatt 250 XLS Professional Series PV inverters from Hybridyne. The 10-acre solar project will generate enough clean electricity from renewable sources to power more than 360 houses each year. When the project is completed in late 2010, it will be one among the larger photovoltaic installations in Canada.
Atlantic Wind and Solar will utilize the balance of 3.1MW of Day4 modules for a wide range of commercial and industrial flat roof arrays in Toronto that will be supplied by Day4 Energy.
George Rubin, president of Day4 Energy, said the company is pleased to be partnering with Hybridyne to provide customers in Ontario with energy generated from renewable sources. The supply agreement demonstrates the company’s commitment on the fast-growing Canadian and North American market.
Thomas Cleland, president of Hybridyne Power Systems Canada Inc. and chief technical officer of Atlantic Wind and Solar, said the combination of Day4 Energy's unique solar panels and Hyperwatt XL PV inverter technology will allow the entire system to generate more usable power from the sun.
