ConEdison Development 150MW Portfolio

The ConEdison Development Portfolio represents a combined 150MW at six different locations in the Central Valley of California. Some 1000 acres will have been converted into solar photovoltaic facilities by final commissioning in Q4 of 2016.

As the EPC of record for these projects, The Ryan Company oversees the full engineering and construction of the system including: engineering and construction of the entire system including procurement of electrical equipment, structural supports and preparation of the site, including management of all project grading and trenching. Ryan also installed the support structures, module racking system, modules, inverters, DC wiring, power cables with the associated collection equipment, and all electrical systems for the entire project involving module connections and inverter installation. The Ryan team designed and optimized the project processes, installation and the 34.5-11.5kV substation interconnection.
