Placer County Solar Energy Project RFP

Green energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the US, so it’s no surprise that companies are actively looking to invest in these efforts. Placer County, CA is inviting firms to submit proposals to provide services for a solar energy project. The winner of this solar energy project RFP will contribute a “turnkey” plan that includes permits, equipment, materials, design, and installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Additionally, the PV system described in this solar energy project RFP should feature 3 MW turnkey solar energy ground mount single axis tracker systems. The system size should be 3,000 kW/dc with a yield of 2,100 kWh/kWp. Once complete, the system will connect via a grid to PG&E Pleasant Grove Substation in Roseville, CA. The location of construction will be 4242 Cincinnati Avenue in Rocklin, CA, a flat area of about 26 acres. As such, the vendor’s PV system components will be the basis for the design the County will use for site-specific construction.
