Scope Of Work
Pittsfield Solar, LLC developed a 10 MW AC (13.9 MW DC) solar project in Pittsfield, Maine, in accordance with Maine’s Community-Based Renewables Act. Pittsfield Solar, LLC engineered, procured, and constructed (EPC) the 10 MW AC solar array, which included installation of 40,200 each 340 and 345 watt modules. Foundations consisted of a pole-mounted racking system with 35% tilt.
