The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in collaboration with First Solar, have teamed up to install and conduct research on a 430kW capacity PV array. The array would be installed at NREL's National Wind Technology Center (NWTC), located southeast of the intersection of Colorado Highway (CO) 93 and CO-128, in Jefferson County, Colorado. The NWTC is a federally-owned facility that consists of 305 acres and is primarily utilized for wind energy research, development, and testing.
