The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to SolarFlexes LLC for the design, development, fabrication, bench testing, and field testing of a modular, prefabricated solar photovoltaic (PV) array and anchoring system.
Newly proposed project activities would consist of the installation of a 700 kW solar array within the research park at the University of Louisiana Lafayette, in Lafayette, Louisiana. The research park is located within a developed, urbanized area. Racking, anchors, PV modules, inverters, and wiring would be installed in a previously disturbed, vacant field adjacent to an existing 1.1 MW solar test facility and connected to existing infrastructure. Anchors would be set at a depth of 5-7 feet. The proposed area of disturbance would be approximately three acres.
