"SPP selected Trina Solar as the supplier of modules for the Oro Loma project due to our confidence in the quality of their products
and also as a direct result of strong customer service provided to SPP by Trina's US team in support of the project's challenging timelines.” - Hugh Kuhn, Solar Power Partners, SVP & COO
Oro Loma Sanitary District provides wastewater collection and treatment services, and residential and commercial solid waste and recycling services to its customers.
An effort to evaluate the district's power usage started nearly four years ago, when district officials decided to run an energy audit to look at how to best become self-sufficient. Those discussions led to a partnership with Mill Valley-based Solar Power Partners, which developed, financed, owns and operates the solar facility on the district's property.
Solar Power Partners and Oro Loma partnered with DRI Energy to design, build, and install the single-axis tracker project. DRI Energy used over 2,100 Trina Solar 220 watt modules on a Raytracker single-axis tracking system. The output from the solar array and the facility’s existing digester gas facility, mean the District is 100% self sufficient in its electrical needs.

Engineers were faced with two challenges: trying to accommodate a previous design that ultimately proved unworkable; and two on site power generation systems that could not be interfered with. The cogeneration systems feature sensitive controls and protective relays that the solar system could not interfere with in the event that PG&E power was to go down. Engineers custom designed a fiber optic based interlock to immediately shut off the inverters should PG&E power go down. The project was completed on time and on budget.
SIZE The system offers the saving the equivalent of 590 metric 468kW tons of CO2, equal to the one-year greenhouse gas emissions of 113 passenger vehicles, the CO2 emissions from the
