AU Optronics, a display and solar solutions provider, announced that it is ready to provide its customers with U.S.-made solar solutions. The progress enriches AUO’s global solar module capacity to span across Europe, America, and Asia. It also makes AUO one of the few international suppliers capable of offering U.S.-made solar solutions.
Further development in the U.S. market has been marked by the acquisition of a 9 MW solar power project in a Pennsylvania school district, which the company says will be the largest solar power plant in Pennsylvania as well as one of the largest school district projects nationwide.
AUO’s solar modules have met American Federal Acquisition Regulation’s BAA (Buy American Act) and TAA (Trade Agreements Act). AUO’s high-efficiency and high-quality solar modules have been also listed in CEC (California Energy Commission).
The area of the Pennsylvanian solar power project AUO obtained recently is around 62 acres — equivalent to 87 football fields. The company says the project is the largest solar power plant in Pennsylvania and also one of the largest among American school districts. The solar power plant is expected to be completed by September 2012. The power plant will generate 10,880,000 kWh of electricity annually for the daily use of approximately 5,000 students in 5 schools nearby. Approximately 6,663 tons of CO2 emissions could be reduced.
