(Plastemart) -- USA’s only
manufacturer of precision-performance polypropylene, polyester and bio-based films for
packaging and industrial applications, Toray Plastics plans to begin
construction in Q2-2011 on a US$2 mln 446 kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV)
field on its campus in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
The new solar field will occupy approximately three acres, consist of
1,650 PV panels with utility-scale single-access trackers, and be the largest
solar-powered system in the state. Toray estimates that the efficient
clean-energy system, which is designed to produce a higher-energy output when
compared with conventional fixed-mounted PV panels, will generate 625 megawatt
hours (MW h) a year, help curb escalating energy costs, and reduce CO2 emissions
by 340 tpa. Construction is expected to be completed by Q3-2011.
